Is there such as thing as a reliable DC return pump?

[jamesdong009]

So I've gone through doubles of Jebao, Speedline, and Waveline DC pumps for my frag tanks. None of which has matched the work put in on my Eheim 1262's on my display tank.

I'm either on the road for weeks at a time or working 70+ hour work weeks, so I rely on redundancy to keep my tanks from crashing. Every time I check the frag tanks, at least one of my return pumps has stopped.

I've been looking at the new Ecotech Vectra's but they need to show some longevity before I drop that much cash.

I know at least three brands that are made by the same company and suspect they all have a common mother, some places make their own controller and others just repackage the generic one. The motors are the same with a little change on the plastic housing to give it "original look".
