Default New return pump? Which one?
Hey everyone,

Lately I have been noticing that my return pump is making a bit more noise. Since it is in my office I am looking to replace it with something quieter.
I have tried mag pumps, but they seem to hum allot.

Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to have between 700-1000 gph and not to expensive.

Thanks everyone!
