Jebao Dc powered pump

I am very happy with mine as well. Very quiet, and I really like the slow ramp up when it is started, and the ability to adjust the flow. I have only had mine for a month or so, time will tell if they are reliable. I bought a second one as a backup, just in case.
 
Ordered a 12000DC and (2) WP-60's for my 240g I'm building. Can't wait to try them out, for the price can't beat it. I already have two MP40's and they are ridiculously loud, plus the fact that I've had to replace a wetside, and a power supply just pooped out of nowhere, another $50 bucks, almost the cost of a GB WP-60. So for the price of the Vortech, I can get two WP-60's and a Reef Angel to control them.
 
no problems here......use the feed button every day. much more accessible than going thru my AC unit to feed the fish.
 
I have the dc6000 and a wp 40. Love them both. I can't hear the dc pump run compared to the rest of the equipment in the sump.
 
My first DC-12000 was bad out the box. Didn't flow anything near spec from magnet rubbing. Got a warranty pump which is dead in 3 months(2 days ago). Was told I was the only one with problems. My ehiem is 3 years old and runs like a champ I need more flow!
I got two pumps for 190 bucks in a forum group buy other wise id be ****ed.
 
I have 2 of the DC12000. I hooked one up externally for my saltwater mixing station. No issues at all in a month or so using it external. Hooked the other up this weekend with my new sump plumbing in my 210. I have it hooked to dual returns and a manifold that goes to my uv sterilizer and biopellet reactor. I have it set on setting 3...and get plenty of flow.

how quiet is the 12000DC on the lowest setting?

Sorry for the late reply. The 12000DC on the lowest setting is very quiet. For normal running, I have mine ramped up to 3 or 4 out of 6 and it is still very quiet. Just make sure to use foam under the pump and tubing the first foot or so to elimintate vibration noises and the pump will be silent, at least in my experience with it.

Great thanks for the tips
 
Do standard plumbing fittings screw on to theses or do I have to plan on using a adapter with a short piece of tubing to a hose barb.

It looks like klwheat is using standard fittings on his DC1200.
I spent some time in HD trying to find something that would fit my DC6000 and it looks like a 1 1/4 inch female threaded coupling will fit that.
I had to get back to work so I didn't have time to confirm it, but I'll probably go back this weekend to find what fits.

Standard 1.5" mpt fitting for mine (with a little plumbers paste)
 
still pumping strong.....love the one button feed mode.

took it apart for a cleaning, looked good. dont like the gasket design, but it works.
 
I'm thinking about a DC12000 with 11' of head in 3/4" id vinyl tubing from my basement sump to the display.

Anyone running anything similar?

from reading seems not the best for basement returns and coupled with reduced return line, maybe not your best choice
