Jebao return pump

js198027 · 12/09/2014, 09:00 AM

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the jebao dc return pumps. Looking at the dc 12000 to push water from a sump in my basement up to my 75gal display. About 12' of head

I just got the DC-6000 pump due to strong recommendations by several friends that have them. I haven't used it long enough to give an experienced opinion but just the ability to change the flow is light years ahead of the archaic A/C pumps like the eheims.

I currently run a diablo DC 3500 and am really happy with it but it won't push what I need it to

Dc 6000 pushing plenty of water just 4.5 feet up. Not full power though. Quiet and the control feature is handy. Been 2 months only. No complaints so far.

According to the graph you would be getting less than 250 gph at that head pressure

I have a DC 12000 on my system. I love the reduced noise level and the controllability but the head loss is extreme. I get less flow out of my returns with this pump then I did with my old Coral life 1740.

By the way mine has been running for close to a year now and so far the reliability has been great.

Am I missing something it looks to me that at 12 feet it would be roughly 700-800 gph?

avoid chinese made dc pump.
unacceptable failure rate

Looks like 800 to me but it still is losing 75% of its original output running at 100% which tells me the OP needs to find a pressure pump

My dc6000 keeps cutting out after 14 months. to get the hight you need I would maybe look at SICCE pumps? Syncra High Flow Pumps only hear good things about them. the Syncra High Flow Pumps look like the sort of pump you would need for that head.

I have a Sicce Syncra HF-10. It's more pump than my old Mag-24.

I have a 210 gallon system. The return splits after the pump and one goes thru a chiller and then back to the tank. The other goes straight to the tank. The returns outlet about 6 ft. above the pump.

By the way, I am running my DC12000 externally. --- No leaks.

iced98lx · 12/10/2014, 12:55 PM

Running a 12000 internally, not a lot of head though, 4-5 foot, quiet and so far no issues.
