DC return pump

joseserrano · Jan 4, 2017

Hey guys, anyone have any experience with either of these pumps. Both reasonably priced for the GPH, and relatively low wattage.

Aqua medic 9.1

Deepwater DC8 or 10 (prices not big difference and wattage is about 10 from the 2100 to the 2650)

I have a deepwater pump. No complaints.

deep water is great, but they tend to have problem with the controller. Both dc20 that i had, both had the same problem. DC5 had no problem.

what was the problem you experienced, and did the company fix/address it if you contacted them that is?

It had "Over voltage fault/Blocked fault, basically motor seized. As replacing and switching controller and power supply did not resolve the problem. Unfortunately, I was a day late and a dollar short of warranty. However, they did compensate me with a BLDC5, instead of BLDC15. Great pump super quiet. if i have to put my money on it, deepwater and vectra are the same pump with a different shell.

I agree, but i was out of warranty. It was a compromise.
