Did you read these articles? The first was splashed with salt water, the second was using a three way prong outlet which has been proven time and time again to cause melting/burning. I cant find the third article.

Three way prong outlet? proven to cause melting? guess that means we should all use ungrounded equipment?
Sorry, too many horror stories out there on their older products causing potential fire hazards all over RC/R2R not going to hunt them all down.
Maybe Im an equipment snob, but in the two decades I have been into reef aquariums I have learned the hard way many times that going cheap many times ends up with a headache if you are lucky and heartache if you are not.
Agree to disagree, have a good day
3 way prong outlet I would think poster means like

I am Jebao all the way. Currently only have one of their DC return pumps and it is excellent. They seem to improve with each generation of pumps.
I would never buy ecotech but I would buy tunze.
you are an equipment snob. I have had alot of Jebao products and never once had any issues.View attachment 1624501

He is referring to a UK brand DD the aquarium solution that sell Jebao pumps under the name jetcod. IMO - Jebao is the largest OEM factory for aquarium pumps in the world. Different brands use these pumps and have rebranded them. Of all these pumps that I have used since they was introduced (and I have used many) are the new Coral Box DCA smart pumps the best I have used.When I first looking into pumps I'm sure i came across there not cheep Chinese pumps as most people think they are.
There actually made for DD at least the dcp range are and so is most the coral box equipment to its just a cheep unbranded version of there more expencive ranges.
Ifrc there are a lot lot of cheep knockoff versions under the same brand name heading not associated with DD and its all about the model number if its a knockoff or the real deal.
Could always ask DD if your not sure what there product range is
Lol, calm down guys they are just pumps... forums are always a good source of entertainment.
if the most recent one is 2018, that’d be a flimsy argument anyway. Are there any from like 2019-20?
You are right! But people doing quick searches find threads on people claiming jebao, black box LED ect. cause fires. They then think they need the overpriced equipment and drop out of the hobby. Its important that people know these horror stories are not true. Like mentioned above, ecotech L1 pumps melted themselves from over heating and they are 3x the price of jebao.
Tunze products are worth every penny and are not overpriced IMO. Norbert Tunze invented the powerhead.
I have a 6101 I bought in 2005 and it still works great and will probably continue working for another 15 years.
Show me a 5+ year old working jebao and Ill be shocked.
Also how about that quality customer service and warranty from Jebao? lol, Yeah, good luck with that !
If you want to buy cheapy knock off equipment for your reefs, hey, have at it hoss !
But dont be surprised if/when it fails at the most inconvenient time possible like when you are away from the tank, because thats what usually happens.
Sorry if I offended anyone and their precious jebao pumps, jeeze! calm down
