Eheim 1262 or Ocean runner 3500 is better

[hamannbmw]

Ocean Runner seems to be a bit more expensive but consume less electricity.... I'll be using 2 of either one to be the circulation pump for my coming 4 X 2 X 2.

Anyone knows which is better ?

[Michael Young]

I would take the Eheim anytime of the week and twice on Sunday. They are so reliable I've never heard of one breaking down. No comments on OR cos I've got no experience with them.

[Achilles Tang]

You don't want to know my personal experiences.

No comment but Eheims are rock steady.

Cheers,

OR has high true put and pressure...

and best of all it's engery saving...

but only that it's abit ex only.. but worth the money in the long run...

[alanseah]

i'm using the OR3500

[alanseah]

due to space concern i have to put it in my sump..

so far for temperature.. i dont see any high rise of temp.. and infact very happy about it..

[Hard Rock]

Actually I was advise to buy OR as in the long run we can save on electricity eventhough it is more expensive

Neither pumps fit all of anybody's description.

Eheim Prompt to lime build up in high dkh (dkh 8 above already have problem) saltwater and BTW warranty not valid for such problems!

Heat? you can place it out sump?

Wattage rather high!

Price not that cheap!

OR3500: Price expensive? Only expensive here! Get in German for half that price

Reliability? Hear the noise it produce after several months to a year of useage. It's a hi or miss....going to the german saltwater forum and hear out what the local have to say Quite a majority reported problems.

I would say that both are petty on par in Europe. locally will depends on the agent and your know

Hi, borrow thread.

I am looking to get a pump at least 3000 l/hr to 6000 l/hr as return pump from sump up to main tank of 5 ft height.

Am considering Ehiem 1262 and Haliea 6550.

Any reefers with respective experience kindly share regards effectiveness to transfer high flowrate at that height.

Which pump will you choose if have to pick one ?
