Bluetooth APP Control
For advanced control and programming, download the official Jecod/Jebao app from your device's app store (available for iOS and Android). Follow these steps to connect and operate:
- Download App: Search for "Jecod" or "Jebao" in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and install the official application.

- Pairing: Open the app. The app will automatically search for nearby DCW pumps. Select your DCW-70 from the list to pair. A quick, one-second connection is typical.
- Control Modes: Within the app, you can select various wave-making modes, adjust flow rates (925 to 1850 GPH for DCW-70), set schedules, and configure master/slave modes for multiple pumps.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Jecod Jebao DCW-70 pump.
- Cleaning: Periodically remove the pump from the aquarium and disassemble it carefully to clean the impeller and pump housing. Use a soft brush and clean water to remove any algae, detritus, or mineral buildup. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Impeller Inspection: Inspect the impeller for any signs of wear or damage. A worn impeller can reduce performance and increase noise. Replace if necessary.
- Cable and Connections: Check all cables and connections for fraying, kinks, or corrosion. Ensure all connections remain secure and dry (outside the tank).
- Water Level: The pump features automatic power-off protection upon no water. Ensure the pump is always fully submerged during operation to prevent dry running and potential damage. If the pump stops, check the water level first.
