Johnathan, do you find your LG noisey ? That was my first choice for a pump, but now - ?. I'm worried if my tank it put someplace else and the sump has to be under the tank the noise will be too much.I still would also like to see your sump someday.

Well my LG is in the basement so I really cant comment. I can hear it but it runs Extremely cool and the water comming from the tank above makes more noise than the pump. I actually may create a project for myself today and may plumb my extra 4mdqsc on a closed loop but that would have to be on the main floor with my tank under the stand so I dont know. If your availiable today I am going to be home most of the day so if you want to pop by let me know. Send me an email or give me a call 235-6467

When there was a LG 4mdqxsc in the stand in my living room, it gave people headaches from the noise. Normal conversation was difficult unless you were sitting next to the person. It was madness, and I switched to the Quiet One. Ahhhhhhh... bliss.
The LG 4s are noisy as advertised. I found many threads regarding this problem and found various suggestions around it. Jonathan's is best - put it in the basement.  Aj

Jonathan,
Are you sure you have the 4mdqx version and not the 4mdq ? They are slightly different and one of them (4mdq) would be more appropriate for your application (pressure rated). Either that...or they improved them over the years. andestang, If you plan to buy the LG, just remember to oil the bearings once in a while. They will ensure that the LG will run for a very long time. Its a solid pump, but its just a little noisy for my cup of tea. - Victor.

Victor,
I dont have the Pressure rated one. It is the 4mdqx not the 4mdq one. I was quite worried when I did the basement sump thing. I was sure the pump would not be able to push the water that height but there is no problems. I should also mention that these pumps are older LG's

andestang,
How are you planning to use this pump ? This would help determine if the extra money/power is waranted. - Victor.
