URGENT! Jebao pump not working properly

[Qwarex]

So today in the morning (yay) I was woken up to the pump (jebao dcp-5000) not working properly (pulsing and only to 8%),it makes a rattling sound and it says on the controller er05 (error 5), which means "abnormal voltage from input", could it be the adapter? I unplugged and replugged everything, doesn't work. The water level in my aquarium is now lower and some corals will dry up. Should i buy another adapter?

Not sure. Is the pump itself considered the input? Further, I wouldn't think the control box would cause rattling noise, adding to the assumption that the pump itself is the input line. I would buy a new pump/controller combo. They are affordable pumps. Then you'll have both the controller that you can test the old pump with and a new pump as backup.

Not the control box , I meant the pump is rattling. Well the voltage doesnt come from the pump so im 99% sure that its from the cables

You can use any 24v 40 watt power supply, or any 24v power supply that is rated higher than 40 watts.
Anything smaller can catch fire

Do you own a multi-meter?

Invest in one, they are $12 on Amazon. Once you have one we can tell if there is something wrong with the power supply in literally 2 minutes.

I had my Jebao (Coralbox) pump stall out like this with flashing lights when mixing salt after a while. When I cleaned it, it went back to normal. I would suggest cleaning and inspecting the impeller before anything.

Replaced the adaptor with a similar one 3 Ampheres instead of 2.5, should be ok, thanks for help

What do you mean you replaced the adapter? Can you post a pic? Mine is doing ER05 and I can’t find the issue

Try to unplug and plug everything, if its still not working i suggest getting a new adapter. Here is a pic of what i got, its all ok now and it works. Make sure you dont get the wrong specs for the adaptor so you dont fry anything.
