Which sump return pump do you recommend?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am happy with my simplicity and being an American company it came with a decent warranty which I haven't needed

For the price point, jebao pumps are hard to beat. Ime they are also reliable, powerful, relatively quiet, and the controllers have always worked well (and still are) on my setups. When i bought my 2x dcp-10000s about 5 years ago i think they were ~$100 USD each, they have been in constant operation since then and i can honestly say i have not had a single jam or failure with the pumps or controllers.

They do generate some waste heat especially on higher power and they are not recommended for external use for this reason. Higher end pumps are usually designed with some kind of radiative cooling mechanism to allow external mounting. If you do plan on mounting the pump externally i would be looking at pumps that specifically state they are for internal(submerged) or external applications.
