jebao return pumps

[Birtikidis]

anyone have any experience with these pumps?
After the renovation I'm thinking of upgrading my return pump and would really like a DC pump. 150g tank with sump directly underneath. think the DCP-8000 is a good pump?

I had a Jabeo DC 12000 for about 5 years before it quit on me. Worked fine for the time I had it even tho I did not clean it like I should have. I have a 150 gal DT plus sump below. Replaced it with Jabeo DCT-15000 that has been running since Jan 2018. Very strong output - usually only run at 1/2 power or less. I like DC - very little heat transfer & low power consumption. Probably not the longest lasting pumps, but work well for me and even if I replace every few years I still save money.

I wonder if I should look to the 10000 instead of the 8000. I am going to run a manifold with outputs to a couple reactors. I'd rather turn it down rather than not have enough power.

Yes that was my thought when I purchased, too. I would rather have a little more power and the price difference is not that much. Don't like to push at peak load 24/7.

I am on my third jebao dc return pump, the mag9 I run alongside them still runs perfectly.
They are great budget pumps, and the low power usage/cool temperature is great, but have a spare pump on hand.

I had one that ran for a little over a year. Quit unexpectedly and I have not purchased another one since.

I've always had them. As long as you maintain them, they can last a long time. You should get two, not just for spare, but also to avoid downtime when you are doing maintenance.

I have a mag drive 9 for spare for that reason. Just would love to have the control-ability
