Red dragon pumps wait times are ridiculous. Replacement recommendations?

[Enderg60]

I got a Speedy 3 pump back in october and it had a crack so I returned it and I have been waiting on a replacement ever since. They are not saying they will not be in stock until JUNE. I am sick of waiting and wait to startup my system.

I had the 6340 GPH version and am looking for something of similar flow that is DC and controllable.

Got any recommendations?

Abyzz A400 is 6060gph, but how often are you running it 100%?

Looking into those platiunum blue pumps. The only thing I cant seem to find is if they have some kind of 0-10v control.

I don't think so.

So after a few round abouts, I decided the Platinum blue pumps would not work. They have flow but not enough flow at the head pressure i need and they are as far as I can see pretty cheaply made for the price point.

I ended up finding a used RD pump and getting that. It arrived with a cracked volute so I was back to waiting on RD. They told me End of march.

I just checked again and they now say they have no idea when they will be getting stock in. So Ive had it. Its been 6 months of waiting and Im just done.

I will be returning or selling the RD pump I have and replacing them with Jebao DCP-20000 pumps. I will not have the controllability I want but I will have the flow at the pressure I want.

I am honestly shocked by all this. Mostly because RD mentioned they CAN get the parts they need, but the current price is not acceptable to them. I guess cost savings is more important that customer service so I will never be purchasing anything from red dragon again.
