I am somewhat new to this so 0ut of curiosity why are you against using DC pumps?
OF here as well .....
Reliable, proven AC pump chez moi as well. Got 20 years of continuous use (cleaned maybe twice) out of my Iwaki; now 10 years out of my panworld/blue line. That is 'best' to me.
I dropped 2 degrees switching my pcx55hp to a sicce 9.0 that I also run external. So yes, you do have heat exchange but even less with dc pumps.In my opinion, DC is only better in power consumption vs AC. And in this reef business of encrusting organisms and calcification, external pumps are better. No heat exchange with water. No electric motor in the water, and when it comes time to do maintenance a lot easier to undo 2 unions and clean. Iwaki reliable and quietest. Currently running blueline for a bunch of years and very dependable but noisy. I ran little giants for years too but again noisy!
They only got 4.7% of the vote so far.I'm shocked to see all the positive reviews with Danner. Mine has made so much noise since day one, constantly needs to be cleaned from Calcium build up and now had the loudest rattling internally. I've been unhappy since I installed it and now looking to replace.
I would be shocked if anyone would choose any low voltage DC pumps if that was the case. I'd be running an Iwaki or Panworld.Maybe the question should be.. If YOU are on life support Which pump do you want to use?
Actually the pumps they use in LVADs (left ventricular assist devices) are centrifugal DC pumps. I think the manufacturing specs are a bit higher than Jaebao’s, though!I would be shocked if anyone would choose any low voltage DC pumps if that was the case. I'd be running an Iwaki or Panworld.
Not if it dies out on you after a year and everything diesJabeo Gets my vote.
"Best" is a very subjective term though and can often change depending on your goal. For me to comes down to value, I run a DCP-10000 I got off amazon for 100 bucks. The thing is dead silent, pumps water through 6 feet head like a beast and has a controller with as many features as I need. It's hard for me to justify spending 3 or 4 times as much on a pump with the same features and quality. Even if I replace 2 or 3 of them due to "quality" issues of Chinese pumps I still come out ahead.
