Quietest Jebao return pump?

[shoelaceike]

I just got the DCT, anyone know if the DCQ, DCP or DCS is quieter?

Its fairly quiet but makes a hum....

I think the trick is to buy oversize and run at low/lowest setting.

I am using a dcp3000 on a 14G tank, running from power level 30 (lowest)~35 depending on how close it is to cleaning time, and I literally can't hear anything even with my head in my stand.

Its interesting, on the one I have, DCT, the lower i run it, the louder it gets.

Im pretty sure mine is a dct cant remember the model number but I’m thinking 8000, I cannot hear it run. it’s actually dead silent...too bad my ice cap gyres aren’t like that. One is silent the other is loud....drives me kind of nuts I can hear the impellers ramping up and down 20’ away

 

[shoelaceike]

Maybe I just have a bad one

I have a dcp18000 it’s silent, and I’m running at 80%

Are you running it externally or submerged, the big pump is submerged but I have a 4000 for my mixing station that is external it’s a little noisy

 

[eggplantparrot]

The dcp and dcq have what they call "sine wave technology", which apparently makes the pump quieter. I haven't seen the box of the dct but i think its an older model line, maybe it doens't have that?

Internally....its fairly quiet but still makes a hum....

I have a dcp 8000 running for over three years. It is the quietest piece of equipment I own

I'm going to try the DCP

Have dcp2500, 3000, and multiple 4000s and all are silent.

Not sicce/eheim silent - actually silent.

Dcp10000 - I run at 80% and can’t hear it. At 100% there is a light hum.

I have a dcp 5000 on my tank and run it at 98% and it is super quiet.

I have dcp 2500 on 240g and it is running 100% power. Super silent.
I got a gyro style power head from Jebao and it was loud. I returned it and they sent me a new one. Dead silent. So if you have any problems with this pomp just tell them to replace the item.

I have a DCA 6000 and it's super quiet. I he's my sicce silent 1.0 over it...

 

[ksed]

I have a DCP 4000 the quietest pump I’ve owned.

Hooked up the DCP 6500 today. This thing is SILENT. Thanks guys
