My DDC-2 started sticking last night and I condemned it tonight. I put my D5 back in and requested an RMA from DD.
I treated that pump like a new bride and still it did me wrong!

Man, that sucks. I just got mine and will be running tonite, and with every story I hear it worries me more.
It would be nice to find out what is causing this from the horses mouth.
Liang, any answers???

Yeah... this is like the 20th case now? I think the "bad batch" theory can be eliminated.
Anyway, thank god it didn't take out any hardware with it. Stick with the D5. FTW!

How can you say this is the first DDC2 to die? I see DDCs dying all the time. If you're afraid of getting a bum D5 then get a 50z. DDC is nice but with all the deaths and the fact that it's not much better while costing more, I'd never get one.

My ddc-2 also died recently. Apparently, the pump got so hot it blistered the gel pad it was sitting on and I gather that is what caused the failure.
Another one... there have been quite a few threads around here lately about DDC's dying. Might want to switch over to an iwaki RD30.My DDC-2 started sticking last night and I condemned it tonight. I put my D5 back in and requested an RMA from DD.

No now he has an excuse not to buy bad pumps.Now you have an excuse to run TWO in series.
And people wonder why RD30 is better then dual DDC's. Because it provides pretty much the same performance and it doesn't break, ever. I am so happy I got one when I had the chance.

and how many people run rd30? If one rd30 fails, it's like 10 ddc
And how many DDCs are built with Iwaki engineering and quality?

I havn't seen a single Laing in Iwaki price range fail. QC could be better on the cheap ones though.
Gee, another DDC with an after-market top failed.
Lets start a poll ... anyone ?
when your pump died (timeframe) and which model, if you had an after market top

Poll like this.
If your DDC2 died pick one
a. It died, stock top
b. It died, modded, my own top
c. It died, alpha top
d. It died, alpha top moded
e. It died, petra top
f. It died, other modded top.

Yeah that sounds good .. should there be other pumps also that are known to die
damn, guys, you are realy scaring me!
i'm waiting for my new ddc (d5 replacement) and now you report such a bad news!
If this makes you fill better, I ran DDC plus from the time when it came out with various tops until last week when I sold it. Not a single problem.damn, guys, you are realy scaring me!

k scrap scrap that... just do the DDC - 2
or wait lets add in a time frame to those ... how long before it died
Guys do note the DDC-2 runs hot so please stick some heatsinks on the bottom. Placing the pump on a pad or the gel stuff would make it run hotter!
Both of mine are still running fine, for now.. I hope they go on for years..
