Sine wave drive technology keeps a DC pump running smoother and quieter than the choppier waveform cheaper DC pumps use, and Jecod builds its DCP return pump line entirely around it. Two sizes cover small-to-medium and large reef systems.
Why Sine Wave Drive Matters
A standard square-wave DC drive delivers power to the motor in abrupt steps, which can translate into audible whine and rougher operation. Sine wave drive smooths that power delivery, resulting in quieter, more refined pump operation - especially noticeable at lower flow settings.
Choosing a Size
- DCP-5000 - Jecod's mid-size sine-wave DC return pump, sized for small to medium reef and marine systems.
- DCP-13000 - Jecod's high-flow sine-wave DC return pump, built for larger reef and marine systems that need serious volume.
Setup Tips
- Size for your sump's return plumbing and head height, not just tank volume.
- Take advantage of variable-speed control to fine-tune flow rather than running at a single fixed setting.
- Position for quiet operation - even with sine wave drive, proper mounting reduces any residual vibration noise.
Jecod DCP pumps are available at Marine Concept Supply in both sizes - order online or pick up at our shop in Wheeling, IL. Shop DCP-5000 or DCP-13000, and browse more aquarium pumps.
