Plumbing The Jebao.

[reeferkeeper420]

For all you jebao return users, how did you plumb your jebao into your system. I'm running all 1" pvc.

Riley, is the top (?) of the return pipe a 1".. with both of mine I added a check valve as a bit of a safe guard..I used 45's up to the tank and then a 90 going into the bulk head...I can take a picture if you are interested...

Mine are both plumbed with 1" flexible hose which is connected to a 1" barb fitting and connected to the test of the hard plumbing.

Just a heads up though. That is NOT a DCT12000. That looks more like the DCS12000. The DCT and DCS are much better pumps, but they are NOT controllable with an Apex or other controller.

my outlet on the 15000 is 1.5" so i crammed the 1.5" pipe it in with the washers and the screw on top for the pump... compression style... kinda mickey mouse but its workin for me.. my 12000 i used a metric conversion fitting from reef octopuss,, my reef octopuss i used a threaded to slip fitting..

Am I the only one who has seen 3 of these and 2 of the wavemakers just up and die ? Sure they're cheap, but they always seem to quit at 2 am ?!?

Riley- sorry for barging in here

Yeah I figured if it does that I have my mag18 for a back up which will give me time to buy a better high quality one. I know it doesn't make sense, I'm just giving the jebao a chance I suppose lol

Never had a prob with any of mine and ive been using the wavemakers since I had my 55 gallon so over 1 year with no probs? Also reefkeeper I also used 1" flex to 1" barb as well.

every jeabo ive bought is still running.. no probs,,, no wait, the very first one i bought lasted about 2 years.. 9 or 10 pumps (inc circ pumps) later all still goin..

You sire are correct. It's a DCS 12000.

Where can you buy soft plumbing? Any specific type?

How much do you need? I have some extra...
I'm pretty sure it's 1". I can bring it to Torx tomorrow and he can confirm.
No cost. It's extra....

I've got some, but not free as it's inventoried.

You can also get it at Home Depot or Lowes. Normally in the aisle with all the fittings in baggies. 10 feet is like $7-8 I think. Or you can get Spa Flex. Either way I'd get something opaque. The clear stuff looks gross after a while.

The barbs are in the poly section. Screw right into the PVC. Grab compound paste for the threads. Much better then teflon tape.

If you can, put unions on both so you can switch out easily. They say the newest version is the best now and they don't fail now. Good luck...

Cheers
