DC Return Pump Recommendation?

Snowsrfr · 10/15/2017, 02:11 PM

Well it appears the Jebao return pump I’m currently running on my 60 cube is on its way out and looking to order a new pump before it’s completly stopped working. Originally planned on ordering another Jebao but thought I’d see what other people’s opinions and suggestions are on replacements. Thanks in advance.

Does that even exist and if so, where?

I have the Syncra SDC, pumps plenty of water, my only complaint is it has a built in up & down cycle to save power that produces a hum loud enough to hear if it's underneath the tank.

The ADV are not available. Probably won’t be anymore

I've been very happy with my Jebao DCP series return pump..
Only had it a few months though now..

Had a DC12000 before that on another tank that ran without issue for 3 years..

In general avoid "First generation" Jebao stuff as they haven't worked all the issues out.. But after that they make a "decent" product thats certainly low cost..

I'm not really sure if any DC pump (cheap to high dollar) has proven its reliability yet as they haven't been out that long..

Has that product been cancelled?

I saw the ADV at MACNA. Even spoke to the rep at the booth and he said around the end of September or so... at this point, I’m not gonna hold my breath.

I spoke to the guy at MACNA2016 , he said it was around the corner. Doesn’t seem like a corner anymore rather a straight line off the deep end.

LQT · 10/16/2017, 02:29 PM

Yeah... super annoying. At least I got to hold one!
