Picked up a used Aquatec CDP 8800 pump and before I plugged it in I realized the label says its 24 VDC. I've had a few of these pumps and they are always 24V AC. Am I reading it right? It's DC and not AC? I don't even see a DC power adapter for it anywhere online.

Yes it is D/C
As we know, most electronic devices we use in our lives require a stable, one-directional flow of electricity, but the household outlets provide AC power. That's where an AC to DC power converter is needed. This is the power supply. Now if you don’t want to use the power supply just hook it up to a 12v battery. Be sure that it does not require less or more than 12v.
