Mag pumps vs Quiet One
i'm looking for 2 pumps. i was woundering if there any difference with the 2 pumps?
seems to me there are alot of ppl who use mag pumps are happy with it. what about Quiet One pumps? i actually have their older model pumps and don't like it. had to do 2 rma on it. one cracked and the other was grinding the shaft. has anyone had any problem with their new pumps? i'm thinking to go with mag drive pumps any pros and cons with these two pumps?

When I was determining which was the best pump for my return, my research showed the Mag to be loud and the Quiet One to be less reliable than some of the others available to me. So I went with the Poseidon.

I have been running a quiet one 4000 for awhile now, 16 months or so. Very quiet and reliable. I would not hesitate to buy one. A lot of good being said about the Mag pumps as well. I just picked up a Mag pump (thanks Rich) have yet to hook it up but when I get the time, I will let you know if there is much of a sound difference etc.

Mag pumps also use more electricity I think.
