Looks promising. Please keep us updated on the usage down the road. I am currently using the old series Jebao pond pumps n consumption is high. With the ever increasing tariffs, am keen to switch when my current one expires.

Oh btw, my experience with Jebao pond pumps (old series) is that they last ~2yrs....but yes, quiet.

Sorry I don't understand why power consumption will increase as the pump age? To me, power should remain more or less the same but the performance drop due deteriorating of the rotating magnetic/ ceramic core.

Me too got the same thinking as u.
Power consumption will be the same but only the flow rate might drop.
Cleaning the pump, think the flow will be as good as new.
I did that for my rio pump

If the power consumption were to go up as being concerned here, only time will tell.

Here u go

20w x 365days x 24 hrs x $0.31kw /1000 = $54 per annum
