DC9000 is perfect for me but 12000 is OK. I can turn flow rate down. How do you like your 9000 pump?

I like it. It was a little noisy at first but it's quieted down. I find these pumps are a little noisier when you dial them down hard. It could also be that I've got it plumbed to a hardline pipe that is only 3/4". (when i redo it, then things will probably get better).

I also like their power consumption. It's 50% saving if I use these pump. Here is BC's hydro will go up 9% on April 2014 and end up 25% up in the next 5 years. Hopefully I can cut a little bit hydro bill down.
