Water Pump

[Corsair]

Dear All,

Which brand of water pump is the quietest you have ever used?

Mine in the sump is making humming noise all the time. It seems to generate a lot of heat. My water temperature without lights measure about 33 deg C.

Please advise....

[AlfaRomeo]

Eheim

[iewnehz]

QuietOne

[don]

eheim

[lightningstrike]

Aquaconnect Red Dragon.

[Hard Rock]

It seen to me that a lot of reefers use Eheim

[stonefish]

Rio Hyperflow.

[purpleocto]

QuietOne..

[Jimaroon]

Eheim has lower wattage compared to those made in TW or China. Thus it is cooler.

[Ekia]

Aqua-Medic's Ocean Runner Series even cooler But of course more expensive... lose to Red Dragon fo course....

[weileong]

The OR are made in china. Depends on the design actually. Not all made in china stuffs are bad

[amteo]

Eheim. Performance/price is hard to beat.

[terryansimon]

really ah. thought the instructions still have that funny german language and also their broken english translation

so are you saying that China instruction booklets come in clear, concise english? I'll probably get whacked for this. hehz.

Dear All,

Thanks a lot for your answers!

One more question...heheh...

Which LFS sell the above mentioned brands at reasonable price?

[Gouldian]

Not all LFS will carry all brand due to conflict of interest.

What you can do is check with our sponsors first, they usually are more reliable.

C328 got eheim at good prices...

but i prefer Rio pumps..though consume more power and hotter..

do research carefully before u decide
