Jebao DCP return pump?

[edolan]

Very helpful ddanis. Thx. Would you say that the 8000 is still pretty quiet running at 80%?

Anyone? 110-220v input?

I'm really tempted by one of these pumps but I've been burned by both of the previous two Jebao items I bought. The WP10 I bought from Fish street went out within 2 weeks and the WP40 I tried a couple years later off ebay went out within another couple of weeks. But the price!

I don't have the best hearing, but at any speed I've had it at or tested, it was 100% inaudible to me. Both pumps. The mj1200 on my duel reactor can be heard tho and they are in the same sump compartment.

Safety shutoff

So im thinking of getting either the 6500 or the 8000 for my new build (SCA 80 gallon)

And there are 3 reasons i was thinking of using a DC pump

1. Adjustability
2. Quiet
3. Safety shutoff

I want the safety shutoff so if my drains ever get plugged, my pump turns off when the return pump chamber empties. This will keep my freshwater top off tank from emptying into the return pump chamber and flooding my tank.

Can anyone tell me how fast the pump turns off if it senses low water? and does it stay off until manually reset?

[postaldave]

can this pump be used exterior or does it have to be in the sump. i'm looking very a silent DC style pump but i need a dry hook up.

[androidx1]

Yes can be used dry or submersed

[androidx1]

Can anybody comment on the autoshutoff feature? Will the oump shut down in low water? How long does it take to shut down and does it require a restart to get pumo running again?

According to the fish street website it can NOT be used externally.

Sorry for misinfo......yoy are correct...internal only...i ahve been looking at 20 dif pumps and i think i got it confused with another.....my appologies

[africangrey]

No apology needed. As described in Amazon's reviews, several users had them hooked up externally and reported no leak and exhibit very little heat. I would put more weight on actual experience from consumers than company's PR statements, just like JeBao claiming how powerful this pump is than otherwise.

I think it is about 30 seconds, and yes, you have to manually reset. It does not start again by itself even if water comes back, like when your DT water starts returning back to the return pump if there is no check valve.

I have no first hand experience with the stock controller, but someone in my DIY thread actually tested it. I think it will not harm the motor. it's just like an electric fan. The electronics in the controller can detect there is no load at the speed it is spinning and will shutdown the pump.

For this reason alone, DC pump is better than AC pump.

this was my attempt to use my own controller circuit. I have ran it dry for up to 30 seconds.

Thanks alot for the info. This is exactly what i needed....im pulling the trigger on the 8000. I only want the shutoff incase my two drain lines get pluged...the return pump will shutdown prior to my top off water from completely dumping in the system.....

[androidx1]

Ive been thinking of using thise iot outlets for controlling things...just not sure how flexible they are to program...

[Harry Muscle]

Has anyone done any tests to see if the watts used by the pump go down when more head pressure is applied (like most AC pumps)?

Thanks,
Harry

I use a DCP 10000 externally with no issues and have not seen any official data suggesting I shouldn't.

Been using a dcp 8000 as a return on my sca 50 with a t splitting out to a manifold running a phosban reactor. I still have the pump barely running over 40%.

Hi Guys, I bought a Jebao 6500 DCP for my Reefer 350 setup. I am upgrading from a 30G so this is my first time using a RP. I ran into a problem where the tubing that came with the tank does not fit the return valve that comes with the pump. Any suggestions?

I think I answered this already? You'll have to reduce the output fitting and add a barb the same size as the soft tubing. I suppose you could also heat the tubing up and put it onto a bigger barb.

I've gotten the "er 01" 4 times now on the 8000. First time I just power cycled it and it ran an hour before doing it again. Second time I plugged it into a different outlet on my reef keeper and it was good for 2 weeks. Now it's done it twice in 27 hours today. I found another thread saying that it's "unstable current or failing controller" another user said it was 100% the impeller but this pump has been in service less than a month. I have a backup I have been thinking about throwing on there but I'd really like to know what's causing the actual issue. Anyone else having this issue? I have it running at about 90% and have a 3/4" feed turn down with about 3/4" clearance from the bottom of the sump.

I know there was a manufacturing defect on some of the dcp pump controllers. If you go on fish-street's website they have a picture of the faulty units and I believe they offer a replacement. Not sure on that last point but I am concerning the defective controllers.

Any tips on type of thread sealant to use? I put rectorseal T2 in the threads of a cheap pump (not this one, but very similar) for my water mixing station, and it ate through the plastic in 2 days. Total failure of both intake and output threads, total killed my pump since it ran dry for 20 mins while I thought I was mixing salt. I assumed it would be safe on ABS pump body, but apparently it isn't made of ABS!

Cheers

Bump for more feedback! considering this pump for new build...

Been using a dcp8000 since April and it works like a charm. I am running a reactor and have it plumbed to return water to both my display and my frag tank. It handles this with ease at about 60% of total power which equates to 46 watts according to apex. At about $80 you really can't beat it.
