Silent submersibles??

[dsanfilippo]

Hello all,
I am trying to find a silent or near silent submersible pump to drive a skimmer. I am looking in the 7-900 gph range before headloss. I have tried a gen-x 4100 and it sounded like a freight train in the stand compared to the t T4 velocities I am running. Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks

Check out an Eheim 1262

Second vote on the Eheim 1262

Third vote. Excellent brand that is nice and quiet.

Eheim or Oceanrunner

Rio 1700, something like 692 gal/hr, and pretty quiet. not as nice as the eheim, but also not as expensive.

Just bought an eheim at champinon lighting for really cheap, hope it works...thanks for the info!

you'll love it. i own the 1260 which is the same exact pump with a different intake that doesn't allow it to flow as much. I bored it out and now effectively have a 1262. it's dead silent.

Ocean Runner would be my choice. I own 4 of them and they are great. Less than half the price of an Eheim and more energy efficient.
