Need help finding a Internal Pump for Sump

[scar_11]

I am looking for a Internal Pump for my sump It will be pumping from a 40 gallon sump to a 90. What are the best Internal pumps?

[RuGlu6]

The best pump is the one that is:
1. Silent.
2. Consumes less watts that means it will stay cool.
3. Reliable.

So Red Dragon, Eheim.
Mag drives are reliable, very reliable but noisy and hot.

Sedra , Quiet ones...red dragon and ehiem will cost you some cash but the best nuff said. the quiet ones and mags little less expensive and sedras even less expensive....technically you get what you pay for and sometimes you luck out with the cheaper stuff

personally I would buy the red dragon....but I also want a ferrari...same thing

I recommend the Eheim. Best pump for the money IMO.

I've ran a lot of Danner Mag Drive pumps (currently using 3.5, 5, 7, 9.5, and a 12) and wouldnt recommend them anymore. The impellers have a way of magically breaking, two of my pumps I have to hit to get them to start running and anything above a mag 9.5 is really loud. So my vote is for Eheim and Quiet One as they are the only other two submersibles I've had experience with.

Eheim pumps say............ " Note: This pump is not self priming."
what does this mean?........ sorry to intrude on your post

Haven't you even pressed the little rubber priming button on a lawn mower before pulling the cord? It means the pump cant suck air.

can you give me a quick review on both

my 2 cents:
If you can get the Red Dragon, Get it. IF not, but you can afford the eheim, get it. IF not, then get the Quietone or Sedra.
