Jeabo dc1200 any good?

Evan West · Feb 7, 2017

So im looking for an afordable dc pump and a few have recommended jeabos. Anyone have experience with this one and or just any long term success using them?

I have used the 8000 and its been over a year without doing anything to it except one cleaning and it runs nice and quiet....

I have had the dc1200 in my qt tank(14g aio cube) for one year now. Clearly Its been good because I had forgotten its been that long. I don't know how much lift you get out of it.

i think its rated for like 21 ft?

I run the DCT jebao for a year or so and have no issues. Very quiet.

I run a DCT 2000 and love it. Very quiet.

Hmm so they seem to have decent reliability

I have the dcs5000 and I love it.

6000 on my tank and it's been running now for about a year and a half. I clean it every 4-5 months. Super quite too, I need to open the stand to hear it and then it's just a real low hum.

Can't even hear my DCT6000 running unless I turn absolutely everything else off and put my head right next to the sump. Even then its barely noticeable. Had it running for a bit over a year now with 0 issues and clean it every 6 months. Would recommend.

The jebao pumps do not handle head pressure well though and the flow rate drops quite fast the higher they have to pump (the DCT and DCS ones anyway - I don't know if any newer ones do better).

Only looking to push 3' of head pressure at most so this probably won't be an issue

Your fine. Those jebao return pumps work great

Yeah that will be easy as then. I have about 5' as well as a chiller and a bunch of 90's and I am getting probably 3000lph (so a 50% reduction on the advertised 6000lph)
