Not true, I did run the math, in Oregon.

Mag 12 is 110 watts. Yearly cost is ~$60
Jebao DCP 6500 is 55 watts. Yearly cost is ~$30.

For the OP, cost of the Mag 12 which he already owns is $0. It would take him 2 years to recoup the $60 spent on the Jebao. BUT, he was asking about a $200 pump and my response was to a $200 pump, not a $60 pump.

So my statement was correct that it would take a long time for HIM to recoup $200 when saving $30/yr.

Fact is you could buy a second Jeboa as a back up and still be ahead.
This thread was not a debate about Jebao v. Ecotech reliability. Nor was I suggesting he buy a L1. What does Jebao v. Ecotech have to do with the OP's question?
