5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly set up your Jebao DCW-1500 pump:
- Choose Location: Decide whether the pump will be used internally (submerged) or externally. Ensure the controller and power adapter are in a dry location, away from water.
- Attach Intake Screen: For internal use, attach the white intake screen to the pump's inlet to prevent debris from entering the impeller. For external use, you may connect a hose directly to the inlet using an appropriate adapter.
- Select Hose Adapter: Choose the correct hose adapter (5/8", 3/4", or 1") that matches your tubing. Securely attach it to the pump's outlet using one of the red screw nuts and an O-ring to ensure a watertight seal.
- Connect Tubing: Connect your flexible tubing to the chosen hose adapter. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
- Position Pump:
- For internal use: Place the pump at the bottom of your sump or tank, ensuring it is fully submerged. The pump has rubber feet for stability.
- For external use: Position the pump on a stable, level surface. Ensure the inlet is connected to the water source and the outlet to your return line.
- Connect Controller and Power:
- Connect the pump's cable to the controller.
- Connect the AC adapter to the controller.
- Plug the AC adapter into a suitable power outlet. The power cables are designed to be long, offering flexibility in placement.

This image focuses on the red and white controller unit for the Jebao DCW-1500 pump. It features a series of blue LED lights indicating the current power level, along with three buttons: a minus (-) button to decrease speed, a plus (+) button to increase speed, and a "FEED" button to activate feed mode. The model number "DCW-1500" and "SINE Wave Technology" are printed on the controller.
- Power On/Off: The pump will start automatically when plugged in. To turn off, unplug the power adapter.
- Adjusting Flow Rate: Use the + and - buttons on the controller to increase or decrease the pump's speed and flow rate. The LED indicators will show the current power level.
- Feed Mode: Press the FEED button to temporarily pause the pump for 10 minutes, allowing for feeding without water circulation. The "10min" indicator light will illuminate. The pump will automatically resume normal operation after 10 minutes. To exit feed mode manually, press the FEED button again.
- Quiet Operation: The SINE wave technology ensures ultra-quiet operation. Even at higher flow rates, the pump is designed to produce minimal noise.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your pump.
- Cleaning the Impeller: Periodically remove the intake screen and front cover to access the impeller. Clean any debris, algae, or mineral buildup from the impeller and its housing. The ceramic shaft is designed for durability and reduced wear.
- Check Connections: Regularly inspect all hose connections and O-rings for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a watertight seal.
- Power Cord Inspection: Check the power cord and controller cable for any signs of damage. Do not operate the pump with damaged wiring.
