Some non DC pumps require up to 200 watts to move that much water. Do the math in power savings because a pump is running 24/7. Extra wattage also equals extra heat transfer.

Agreed. I run this pump on my FOWLR and it is dead silent, puts out a ton of controllable flow and for the price you cant beat it. Ive had mine running for two years, no issues.
DC technology is getting pretty awesome. So if you feel like you want to spend some extra money to buy an ecotec M1 or L1, reef octopus, or even the new neptune pump, theres a lot of options out there. But for most brands you pay the price. Thats why I keep going for the Jebao/jecod pumps. I could literally buy 2 or 3 of them for the price of the big guys pumps.
