Well the new pump arrived and again. Not impressed. The Jebao DCW-1500 is garbage. No where near 400gph.
That’s 2 fails in a row. Such a shame. I guess you get what you pay for. Not a good taste of Jebao at my dinner table. Probably the last time I’ll try a Jebao product.
The stock pump seems to be stronger. I cut the hose to fit the larger pump. Ugh. I hate screwing around with equipment once it’s installed. Of course the heaters mount popped off the suction cups.
Gonna pull the Jebao and just use the stock pump for now I guess. I added the wave maker I had in storage.
Edit.
I installed the stock pump. The Jebao was probably 2 times stronger. Definitely no where near 400gph. Why is it that when you try to save a few bucks in this hobby it usually bites you in the butt. Should have just gotten the IM pump to start with. Lol
