Jecod/Jebao DCT Marine Controllable Water Pump (DCT-12000)

We love the low power usage of the DC pumps, we have two of these pumps running our 3400gallon pond one for the skimmer and one for the bottom drain. Awesome projects we use the Jabao up as well

This pump worked excellent in our sump for our 270g. After 2 years, it's still running but the case has come apart at the grey to black plastic connection rendering it useless. For the price, it was worth getting us out of the bind we were in. This time I'll purchase the warranty.

Great energy saving pump for outdoors pond. Has a feed, 10 minutes shutoff so skimmer does not suck up food. Will power a small bead filter. Well built

This pump is versatile and quiet. I love the Feed button. It shuts down the pump for 10 minutes for feeding, but won't let you forget to turn it back on.Unplugging the pump is the only way to turn it completely off.The only thing that isn't clear is if you can run it outside of the sump. They mention using the sump for cooling.I've been using it for 2 months now with no problems at all.

Lasted 9 months. Seal failure. Needs a new impeller. I consider it a bad deal. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHINESE GARBAGE. Silent operation and great until it failed. I replaced an Iwaki which lasted 8 years. I went back to the Iwaki, the same old 8 year use one. Failure is not an option. Short term success is not a long term goal for my Reef tank. Don't waste your money unless replacing it is your goal.

So far this pump is working well for me. I have this pump installed on a Casco pet store aquarium system (like the ones they use at Petco stores). The system has 7 tanks, holding about 90 gallons of water. The tanks have a common sump, where the pump is submerged, that holds another 30 gallons. I am running this pump on about 3/4 of the maximum flow rate, which is very easy to set form the control panel. I use the feed hold daily and the slow start-up feature is easy on the plumbing and keeps my fish from getting blasted when the pump comes back on.The pump I replaced was a Reeflo Swordtail external pump. The Reeflo pump had a bit too much flow for the tank system, and wasn't directly controllable. The tank system's plumbing had a complex set of valves and return lines to help adjust the flow. It was hard to get the right balance of flow to each tank by adjusting all these valves. The Jebao pump's control panel has allowed me to remove the flow control lines and valves, and provides much easier push button flow control. Because it is submerged, the Jebao pump is super quiet. I would even call it silent.So far I am very satisfied with this pump's performance. The only thing that seems to be lacking for this pump is plumbing connection options. Even though the multiple size hose connector works, I would have liked to have the option to adapt this directly to the hard line plumbing of my system, without having to get creative at the hardware store buying parts to make an adapter. Using the included hose adapter in my system has the output sticking out the top of my sump instead of out the side where it belongs. It probably wouldn't be an issue if my sump were deeper, but it is only 13 inches deep. With the inclusion of some additional standard plumbing adapters, I would have rated this pump 5 stars.

I'm running my return in my 150 gallon reef tank with this with about a 15ft line length from the basement upstairs, I switched from a dying little giant to this and this was rated much higher flow rate. I will say when you put your hand in front of the return it doesn't seem like much more power but when you watch how much more water is returning to the sump you will realize just how much more water this thing moves. Also it is dead silent in comparison. Great pump and I would buy it again

I've had a few of these pumps and they hold up very very well under any conditions. Very strong, very powerful, no leaks if set up correctly. High quality pump with no noise at all. This last one I got though, started making noise after 2 months and still does it. Reached out to amazon for replacement but I can't stop the use of this one to return it first for replacement so I'll be keeping it for now until I can buy another.
