Jebao DCP series return pump, pump curves

[Weasel1960]

Jebao does not publish many of their pump curve data on their web site, just max flow, max head height, and glass thickness. I have also noticed on the web, Google Images, Amazon, etc. that various product screen shots show the box and box contents and on one of the side panels they do show a performance curve for most models. But Google Images isn’t reliable enough to know which model number you are looking at.

So asking if reefers using the various DCP SERIES pumps could please post pictures of their box panel and let me know which model(s) the curve represents. I am only looking at the DCP series as it is the newest sine wave pump. Thanks in advance.

What application? I use a DCP 10000 as a return pump in basement and have it set at 40% currently,

The trick with these pumps is getting one to large, then running it at 1/2 volume. Mine has been bullet proof for 6+ years.

I have the baby 2000 pump on my ca reactor running at 20% close to 5 years

Go to ebay and look the curves are listed per model. 10000 19'of head pressure , the 18' of head pressure is the 8000 which has the same impeller as the 10000 just more watts in motor

I have some of the smaller DCP pumps and just looked at the box and manual. Neither shows the pump curve like the older DC pump packaging.

Looking into a dual return for redundancy. One will have UV, the other will have a carbon filter. Thanks for info will look at eBay.

Thanks for the reply. That’s disappointing. Which pumps are you running and for what application?

Thanks for your reply. I did check the manual out and it shows the max ratings. Was hoping for something like the graph below at different speeds for the various DCP models.

Awesome thanks for the additional replies.

Hello, did you ever find the curves?

I’ve got the 10000 on a 180 gallon with 4 outputs (1 inch flex series random flow generators). Running 1.5 inch hose to 1.5 pvc with runs the length of the back and stubs 1 inch schedule 80 up to 3 outputs. One output is on uv and fed by 5/8 hose. About 5 ft of lift from sump and at 100% I’m able to push about 1366 gal/hr. I’m considering going to the 20000 and running at 50% then just keep my 10000 for backup.
