I've been told that the Snapper is very quiet as well. I'm installing one this weekend. I'll let you know. It'll replace two Mag 9.5 and a Mag 7. Half the wattage (Read: less heat) and should be quieter to boot.

Aren't they the same pump/motor with a different impeller?

If so they should be the same, pretty dam quiet

they use the same motor, but since the snapper outputs less it might be slightly quieter.

I run two snappers very quiet, they use the same motor and casing, different impellers, both are great pumps!!
