Jebao return pump... DC, DCT, DCP, or DCS

[fishbox]

What's the difference?

 

[Scott.h]

Not much, as they'll all die prematurely compared to some other brands!

 

[Velcro]

Yea I wouldn't use one as a return pump unless I never go out of town... my skimmer on the other hand.....

I need a decent budget-friendly return pump for my 40 breeder. Must be quiet as the tank will be in my bedroom. I really only need about 300 GPH at 4 foot head but I like the adjustability factor.

Look at quiet one pumps. Much more reliable.

Really? I could swear I read somewhere that they were garbage. But I know everyone has a lot of opinions LOL

 

[fishbox]

Especially when people are trying to be budget-friendly in this Hobby LOL

Ran a dct 12000 on my 120g for 1.5yr never a problem, even when I went out of town...

Currently have a dct 4000 as my return on a reefer 250, 54g display, just put that on a couple months ago.

The dcp and dcs are the newer models.

Essentially, they are just different/upgraded versions from the previous model. DC is the oldest and first version, DCT 2nd, DCS 3rd and DCP is the newest. I ran a DCT4000 for a couple years on an old 75 I had and it ran flawlessly. I did notice they lose speed if they don't get cleaned often enough.

Hell I can deal with that. The 40 breeder will be a temp tank until I move. So it will probably only be set up for maybe a year Max

I have one and have had it for 2 years now. No issues so far. I do have a spare/backup waiting, but I have yet to have to use it. I could buy 4 for the price of the other pumps

 

[reeferfoxx]

I've been running a dc3000 for 19 months without issues. Probably cleaned it 3 times. I have a DCT3000 for backup.

I have a DCT-4000. That's the newest version. It runs good, but is noisy. Started out good, but within a couple of days of use it started to whine. Some said they had the same thing and it quieted down after a bit of time. Not for me. I had to move it from the DT in our living room, out into the garage to power our mixing/pumping station. Still works, but has gotten even noisier - loud whine. But it pumps real strong. Zero customer support from the manufacturer.

 

[reeferfoxx]

Yeah my dc3000 whines at middle to high settings. Fortunately, i keep mine at the 2nd light without noise. I would recommend getting one larger but meets the minimum ghp you are wanting.

The DCT isn't the newest version and it came out in 2014 " 31/12/2014 Fish Street Release Jebao New DCT4000 Pump. DCP is the Newest and was released on 2016 Oct 28. Fish Street Release new series for the DCP Pump. It even has a different controller.

What Difference for the Jebao DCS Pump and DCT Pump ?

DCT Pump is produce on 2014. DCS Pump is produce on 2015 Aug which based on the DCT weakness to develop.

Jebao DCS Pump using new swirl impeller, make it more silent and reduce vibration . The Hmax also increase around 25% than the DCT Pump

DCP Series:

[fishbox]

Looks like the smallest DCP is the 5000 which has a max gph of 1450. I know these pumps gph get sucked up by head pressure. I'm wondering what kind of GPH range I would have at 4 feet of head

 

[Even Further]

RO Varios DC would be a step up in quality and product support. Prices are very reasonable. Worth a look at least.

I bought a DC6000 when I first started 2 years ago with the intent of upgrading down the road. After 2 years it's still running like new and super quite, no need to change. I bought another for a spare.

Well, I just looked on Amazon and they are still selling the DCT line as of today 8/4/2017. So to me it was and still is the most current available pump that I bought back in March of this year 2017.
