Jebao Jecod Super Low Wattage XOE-3500
Or
Oase Aquamax Eco Classic 3500 Pond Pump\


Massive price difference. Should i go for the cheaper one? For an extra $4 i can get the Jebao Jecod 5000. Maybe that be to much for 1800l pond?

14 watts seems incredible low for the JJ 3500

Jebao is a China based company.
Oase is a Germany based company

Jebao is relatively new on the pond equipment market.
Oase is an old, well-respected company that .has always been on the cutting edge when it comes to technological improvements

The Oase pump has a slightly higher max. head at 2.2 M. compared to the Jebao that maxes out at 2.0 m.

At 14 watts, i would be suspect of the claimed performance of the Jebao pump.

I'll bet that the Jebao uses a DC (Direct Current) motor and the Oase uses AC (Alternating Current).
That would explain the wattage difference.
I've used Jebao pumps in the past. Out of 6 pumps, only 1 worked for a reasonable amount of time.
I do like the lower power consumption of a DC motor though. Too bad Jebao is of such poor quality.

I'll save myself the hassle and go with Oase. 5 year warranty. Cant really go wrong there.
