Jecod/Jebao GDP – New generation of smart DC booster pumps

The Jecod/Jebao GDP series is a new generation of electronically controlled return pumps for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. These pumps combine powerful performance, an energy-efficient DC motor, and exceptionally quiet operation with extensive control options.

Thanks to the combination of WiFi, Bluetooth, and a physical controller with an LCD display, the pump capacity can be easily adjusted to the needs of the aquarium. The GDP series is suitable for use as a return pump in a sump, but can also be used in other aquarium and filter systems where reliable and adjustable water circulation is required.

The series consists of nine models with a maximum capacity of 1,500 to as much as 20,000 liters per hour. This ensures there is a suitable version for compact aquariums as well as large reef systems and professional aquarium installations.

Three ways to operate the pump

One of the most important improvements of the GDP series is the extensive control options. The pumps can be configured in various ways, meaning you are not dependent solely on a smartphone or wireless connection.

• WiFi: control via a compatible smartphone app and WiFi connection
• Bluetooth: wireless control via a direct Bluetooth connection
• Manual controller: direct operation via the included controller with LCD display and rotary knob

The controller features a clear display showing the set pump operation. Settings can be easily adjusted using the rotary knob, without complex menu structures.

WiFi and Bluetooth control

Thanks to the wireless connectivity capabilities, the GDP pumps can be operated via a compatible app. This makes it possible to adjust settings without having to constantly access the pump or controller.

Bluetooth offers a practical option for local control, while Wi-Fi provides additional flexibility when the pump is connected via a suitable network. The exact functions and availability of remote control depend on the app, firmware, and network configuration used.

OTA firmware updates

The GDP series supports OTA (Over-The-Air) firmware updates . This allows the controller's firmware to be updated via the app without the controller needing to be physically connected to a computer.

This makes it possible to easily install available software improvements and firmware updates.

Extremely quiet operation thanks to sine wave technology

The Jecod/Jebao GDP pumps utilize modern sine wave technology . This motor drive ensures smooth and efficient operation of the DC motor and helps limit vibrations and motor noise.

This makes the pumps particularly suitable for aquariums in living rooms, offices, and other environments where a low noise level is important.

• Modern sine wave technology
• Smooth motor control
• Low noise level
• Energy-efficient DC technology
• Suitable for continuous use

Advanced electronic security systems

The GDP series is equipped with electronic monitoring functions that help protect the pump against various malfunctions during operation.

The integrated IC electronics can detect anomalies, such as a blocked rotor or the absence of water. In such situations, the safety system can automatically shut off the pump to help prevent further damage.

• Electronic detection of rotor blocking
• Protection against dry running
• Automatic shutdown upon detected faults
• Protection of motor and drive

Please note: despite the electronic safety features, the pumps must not be intentionally run dry. Ensure that the pump is correctly filled with water upon commissioning.

Sustainable ceramic shaft

The pumps are equipped with a wear-resistant ceramic shaft. Ceramic is highly resistant to prolonged use in aquarium water and helps limit wear on the rotating parts.

Regular cleaning of the rotor and pump housing remains important to prevent limescale deposits, dirt accumulation, and unnecessary load on the motor.

Suitable for internal and external installation

The Jecod/Jebao GDP series can be installed both submerged in the water and externally outside the aquarium water . This allows the pumps to be used flexibly in various filter systems.

The pump housing supports various suction configurations, including suction from the bottom or side, depending on the selected mounting and connection configuration.

• Suitable for underwater use
• Suitable for external installation
• Flexible suction configuration
• To be used as a return pump for a sump
• Also suitable for other water circulation and filter systems
• For fresh and saltwater

For external installation, all connections must be completely watertight. Check in advance whether the selected connectors and pipe diameters are suitable for the specific pump model.

Available Jecod/Jebao GDP versions

The GDP series is available in nine models. The different versions each have their own maximum capacity, energy consumption, and head.

Technical specifications

Which GDP lift pump do I need?

The correct pump capacity depends on the total aquarium and sump volume, the desired circulation, the head, and the resistance in the piping.

For a sump return pump, the actual water output at the required head is particularly important. The maximum capacity in the specification table is measured at minimum back pressure and is therefore not equal to the amount of water the pump actually returns at a given installation height.

Bends, valves, couplings, pipe diameters, and other components can further reduce the actual flow rate.

Therefore, preferably choose a pump with sufficient capacity reserve so that the desired return flow can be achieved without the pump having to constantly operate at maximum power.

Maintenance and lifespan

For a long service life, it is important to regularly inspect and clean the pump. Especially when used in marine aquariums, limescale deposits and dirt particles can accumulate around the rotor and the ceramic shaft over time.

• Check the rotor regularly for dirt and limescale.
• Clean the pump housing and the suction openings.
• Prevent snails, sand, or other objects from blocking the rotor.
• Check the connections for leaks during external mounting.
• Keep the controller and power adapter dry
• Switch off the pump before maintenance is performed
