Maxspect Jump DC Pump 6K — 1,585 GPH

Powerful, Quiet, Controllable Return Flow for Your Reef

Your return pump is the heart of your aquarium's filtration system. It needs to move serious water, operate reliably 24/7, and give you enough control to fine-tune your entire system.

The Maxspect Jump DC Pump 6K delivers all three.

With a maximum flow rate of 1,585 GPH, adjustable DC output, and Maxspect's Sine Wave Technology, the Jump 6K is designed to deliver powerful return flow while keeping pump noise to a minimum.

Whether you're upgrading an existing reef system, building a new aquarium, or looking for a dependable controllable pump for your sump, the Jump 6K gives you the flexibility to dial in exactly the flow your system needs.

And because you don't always need maximum flow, the controller gives you 20 adjustable speed settings, allowing you to match return flow to your aquarium, plumbing, overflow, sump, and filtration equipment.

Why Choose the Maxspect Jump DC 6K?

Near-Silent Sine Wave Technology

A return pump runs continuously. That means even a small amount of pump noise can become very noticeable over time.

The Jump 6K uses Maxspect's Sine Wave Technology, which drives the pump with a smoother electrical waveform than traditional pump technology.

The result is near-silent operation with significantly less vibration and mechanical noise.

Your aquarium should be the focus—not the equipment running underneath it.

Up to 1,585 GPH of Adjustable Flow

The Jump 6K provides up to 1,585 GPH of maximum flow, giving you plenty of capacity for a wide range of reef and marine aquarium applications.

But the real advantage is that you're not locked into running the pump at full power.

The controller lets you adjust the pump through 20 different speed settings, so you can find the flow rate that works best for your particular system.

That means you can:

• Match flow to your overflow capacity
• Reduce unnecessary turbulence in your sump
• Fine-tune return flow
• Adjust flow as your aquarium changes
• Run lower flow during maintenance
• Increase flow when additional filtration equipment is added

More flow when you need it. More control when you don't.

20 Speed Settings

Not every aquarium needs the same amount of return flow.

The Jump 6K controller provides 20 speed settings, giving you precise control over the pump's output.

This makes it easier to balance your return pump with your overflow, plumbing diameter, sump design, and desired turnover rate.

Instead of choosing between "too much" and "not enough," you can dial the system in.

Built-In Feed Mode

Feeding your fish shouldn't require unplugging your return pump.

The Jump 6K controller includes three selectable feed-mode durations: 10, 20, or 30 minutes.

This makes feeding time simple while reducing unnecessary water movement through the filtration system.

Once the selected feed period is complete, the pump resumes normal operation.

Pulsing Modes

The Jump 6K controller also includes two pulsing modes, giving advanced reef keepers additional options for managing water movement.

While the return pump's primary job is circulation between the display and sump, these modes can provide additional flexibility when configuring your system's overall flow strategy.

14.7 Feet of Maximum Head

Real aquarium flow isn't measured at zero head.

Once water has to travel upward through plumbing, elbows, fittings, reactors, and other equipment, actual flow is reduced.

The Jump 6K provides a maximum flow head of approximately 4.5 meters / 14.7 feet, giving the pump useful head-pressure capability for real-world sump installations.

This makes it a versatile option for aquariums where the return section sits significantly below the display.

WWC Tip: Always size a return pump based on the flow you need at your actual operating head—not simply the pump's maximum GPH rating.

Designed for Modern Reef Systems

The Jump 6K isn't just a high-flow pump.

It's designed to integrate into the way modern reef aquariums are actually operated.

Use the adjustable controller to balance your return flow with:

• Overflow capacity
• Sump size
• Mechanical filtration
• Protein skimming
• UV sterilizers
• Media reactors
• Algae filtration
• Aquarium plumbing
• Desired display turnover

That adjustability gives you room to change your system without immediately needing a different return pump.

Compact Power in Your Sump

Despite its performance, the Jump 6K maintains a compact footprint.

The pump measures approximately:

7" × 3½" × 3"

This makes it easier to fit into sumps where space is limited.

The pump itself weighs approximately 2.3 lb, and the included output options support 1" and 1¼" connections, giving you flexibility when planning your plumbing.

Energy-Efficient DC Performance

The Jump 6K operates at a rated 70W while delivering up to 6,000 L/h / 1,585 GPH of flow.

Because the output is adjustable, you don't have to run the pump at maximum power when your aquarium doesn't require it.

That means you can tune the pump to your actual system instead of continuously running more flow than necessary.

Is the Maxspect Jump 6K Right for Your Aquarium?

The Jump 6K is an excellent choice for reefers looking for a quiet, controllable return pump with enough capacity for medium-to-large aquarium systems.

It's especially well suited for:

• Reef aquariums
• Mixed reef systems
• SPS systems
• Fish-only marine aquariums
• Sump-based filtration systems
• Aquarium upgrades
• Custom aquarium builds
• Systems requiring adjustable return flow
• Reefers who prioritize quiet equipment

WWC Recommendation

Don't select your return pump based solely on the advertised maximum GPH.

Your actual flow depends on:

Pump output + vertical lift + plumbing + fittings + restrictions.

For the best result, determine your desired flow at the pump's actual operating head and then select the appropriate speed setting.

WWC Quick Take

Our Take on the Maxspect Jump DC 6K

Best for: Reefers looking for a quiet, controllable return pump with enough capacity to support medium-to-large marine aquarium systems.

Maximum flow: 1,585 GPH

Adjustable flow: 740–1,585 GPH

Maximum head: 14.7 ft

Power: 70W

Why we like it: The combination of near-silent Sine Wave Technology, 20 speed settings, feed modes, pulsing modes, and strong head-pressure capability makes the Jump 6K much more versatile than a basic fixed-output return pump.

The WWC Advantage

At Worldwide Corals, we look at aquarium equipment from the perspective of the complete reef system.

The right return pump isn't necessarily the pump with the highest GPH number.

It's the pump that gives you the right flow at the right head pressure, with enough adjustability to adapt as your aquarium changes.

The Jump 6K gives you that flexibility without adding unnecessary complexity.

Built to Keep Your Reef Moving

Water movement is fundamental to a successful reef aquarium.

Your return pump moves water through your filtration system, keeps oxygen-rich water circulating between the sump and display, and helps deliver water to the equipment responsible for keeping your aquarium healthy.

The Maxspect Jump DC Pump 6K combines powerful flow, precise control, and near-silent operation in a compact DC pump designed for modern reef systems.

With 1,585 GPH of maximum flow, 20 speed settings, 14.7 feet of maximum head, Feed Mode, pulsing modes, and Sine Wave Technology, the Jump 6K gives you the control to tune your return system instead of simply turning it on and hoping for the best.

Upgrade Your Return Flow
