![]() I used a Sequence Wahoo on a dual beckett until last week but would recommend the pump Deb was using instead. The Wahoo was a bit less on energy consumption and price but the Marlin (I think that was the model) was super quiet with a bit more pressure.
I wouldn't go with the Mag pump. Next thing you would need is a chiller because of too many submersible pumps. |

![]() I dont believe its that old Quinn. Not much more than a year.
Kari, are those not direct drive pumps. Thats what I first suggested to him but many keep telling me because they are not designed for pressure use, its hard on them and the seals ? I agree on the Mag and heat, although if in a situation where its in the basement and heaters are being used, it may be a good idea. I,m thinking it would drive the skimmer well. Unless central air is used though, the summer may be a problem for heat.

![]() Whatever dollars you save on a pump that puts heat in your water, you will pay back threefold in AC costs in the summer getting the heat out.

![]() I ran a panworld 200PS and a mak5 on my beckett. The panworld is so much quieter than the mak.

![]() FYI, Mag 36 sounds like a jet engine. I've stopped selling them because it wasn't just an aberrant pump, they were all loud.

I wonder if what money is wasted in the summer would be made back in the winter by running heaters less. Although doubt this is the route to go, as I,m sure he wants another external, so just discussing it. ![]()

Trust me on this, it costs major money to get that extra heat out. The difference will be slightly made up in the winter, but nothing is 100% efficient, so you lose. ![]()

![]() well when I had the mak 5 going on the dual beckett it was realy quite. I thought it was going to be extremely loud, however the air getting sucked into the becketts were loud not the pump...
