what pump?

[islandguy11]

I have DCT, DCP & DCQ models running on 3 large tanks and am very pleased with their performance so far, no problems and strong, controllable flow.

The basic order of release of the Jebao models was:
-- DCS
-- DCT
-- DCP
-- DCQ (latest, 2018)

Like with any line of products there were small improvements with each release. As Tobias mentions the main difference between the DCP & DCQ models is that the latter has Wave function in addition to the Feed option that previous models have. With my set-ups I don't need to use either of these functions. The DCQ also has a new "Four-pole electronic motor", whatever that is, but I think it's supposed to be quieter (they're all very quiet anyway). Finally the DCP is dark grey, whereas the DCQ is a very bright red.

There are probably better (and more expensive) brands/models out there but I think insofar as value-for-cost the Jebao are pretty hard to beat.

If you're looking for about 1000 gallons/hr, I'd recommend the DCP-5000 or (~1,320 gallons/hr), or the DCQ-5000 if you can find it, bearing in mind that most of the models can be dialed down via controller by about 46-50%, so they're quite flexible.

Here's a pic of the graph from the DCQ's box I just took:

I was looking to run it internal in my sump to help with heating the water since this tank is in the garage.

Bear in mind that DC pumps run at lower temps than AC pumps (an advantage here in the hot tropics but maybe not in a colder region), if I'm correctly understanding your intentions with putting this in your sump.

you are correct. but I can add another heater or 2 if needed .

i have a dcp-6500 that has been running for 4 months and thus far i am very happy, good water volume at a decent head matching what it was specked at. little bit worried about long term and how good support will be from suppliers when i need spare parts.
for now value for money and function i am happy.

Great pump i dont recall ever reading a complaint on them. I use my spare dct for all sorts of crap even pumping muddy water out of a ditch on side of my yard.
