I know its only a skimmer pump but maybe the retailer can bring in the return pump version?

I have emailed for information.
The biggest thing about these pumps is are the gph. Not high enough. Even their larger pump only does 10000 lph(10m3). The blue eco does 28000 lph(28m3) more than double, and fully controllable. Not six preset speeds.

Why are the quiet, efficient running pumps so damn expensive? I really need a high flow, super quite & efficient pump for the 300 but can't seem it find something affordable & sell my other pumps

It is dead silent at lower RPM, at higher or max it has a small wine.

I HAVE ONE and 2 Abyzz A200. I paid $1000 by the time I got mine.

Bob has messaged me a few times in the past, I know he is serious about this order. Couple things to consider. Look into how you will adapt them now. They are metric so i took a 1.5" spigot and machined it out to 50mm.

You guys can come see it in action before you buy if you like. I live in Barrie, ontario

Cheers

Hey Rob,
I looked at the abyss as well, but for $1999 a pump I just couldn't do it. I've found 50mm x 2" couplings in the states and will have them shipped up. They're cheap at $8 a piece.
Thanks for the offer, but most of the interest is here in Alberta.
Other than that, have you had any problems with it? Any info you have please feel free to post, good or bad. Thanks,
Bob

I have been running it since December 26th with good success. They are quiet pumps and very energy efficient at least at the low end. As you raise the RPM the wattage draw quickly increases. It will be interesting to see what happens when I need to pump water from the basement to my main display. Perhaps Ill try and get a video of what it sounds like as you ramp it up, Remind me in a few days.
