LF return pump

[trialanderror]

Interesting that both of my return pumps on 2 different tanks at two different place went out at the same time. Both are Jebao DC6, one is 4 yrs and the other 2 yrs old. I'm running temp mag 7 back up now. So I'm looking for return pumps. Let me know what you have.

1: Check the power supply on those Jaebos - Is the light Lit? They use cheap power supplies which can go out often. Can be replaced on Amazon for about $12. If so, is the controller blinking a code?

2: Jaebos need to be cleaner a lot more than other pumps. Take one out and soak it in CLR and water. After about an hour, try turning it on. Does it run? If it runs in let it run in that solution for about an hour. Then plain warm water, and brush it. Make sure you get it completely cleansed. I have had them stop, done this and they fired right back up.

Some people here hate them, I have been using mine for quite a while. Just need to remember to clean them every few months.
