Quietest return pump
 

I think I may have bought a bum pump, or their is a piece missing. I took it all apart today, and it appears thattheir is a bit of play in the shaft I think this is causing the noise.

Any way I need another return pump. I will be buying new this time, and would like at least 1200 GPH preferably a bit more.

Any reccomendations out there. I am not rich, but willing to pay for the right product. Is there such thing as an "Eheim" like quiet return pump?

I've got to say I'm really happy with my Mag 7 for return. I don't even have it insulated agains the bottom of my sump and I hardly hear it when I have the stand doors open.
I played with a Mag 12 briefly and it was quite a bit noisier, but the 7 is a peach.

Snapper.

sorry to disagree, i have never found mags to be very quiet.

Ditto.

Albert do you carry the poseiden?

How would you compare it to the snapper?

I think mags are quiet up to the 1200 model. After that they are stupid loud.

the only problem with the posidien is it can add heat to the water as it doesn’t have a fan. it does have a titanium core though and is dead quiet. i also have a blueline that is not entirely silent but not bad.

Both my GenX (Pacific Coast Imports) PCX55HP's are deadly quiet.

I think perhaps it is worn out, there is some lateral shaft movement when I had it apart.
