I use a jebao variable DC pump and prefer them, cheap and been reliable for years.

I also have a Sicce pump, they are well built and reliable but run hot, raising the tank temperature.

Whatever brand, for a return pump I would recommend a DC pump so you can dial in the flow rate and match the overflow without valves on the return line.

Valves and unions everywhere!

What are you guys using for return pumps? I'm looking to get a new one soon and use the one I currently have as backup

Does the one you are running now suit your needs? If so, if ain't broke don't fix it and get a new one of those. Same plumbing, size, fit, cord length, drains are already set up for the flow, etc...

Now if you want to go with a different pump to gain different features (contrallability, noise reduction, additional flow to drive a manifold, etc..) then what are you looking for. This could help narrow down a selection.

For me, I wanted a DC pump for noise reduction but also needed enough to push 750 gph through 12 feet of head pressure and a manifold to my UV and stay around 50% power to try and extend pump life. This lead me to the Sicce SDC 9.0 for the living room tank.

New tank is in the bedroom so I want it as quiet as possible. Tank is a Waterbox AIO 65.4 with only about 2 feet of head pressure and only needs to push about 300 gph. I chose the ReefOcto VarioS-2 for this tank.

I agree the DC pumps are definitely quieter.

There was nothing wrong with the one I currently use. It's a little louder than I'd like it to be, but is not that big of an issue at the moment, main reason to try and get a second one is just in case one fails, that way I'm not rushing and jumping onto the first pump I see to try and get the system running back up lol

Great choice. I messed up and wasted my money on a "nice" versa one time....never again. Jebao has worked flawlessly and is more quiet than any others ive ever heard.....or not heard...lol.

 

[ros3to]

Amazon?

Yup. Is that an issue ?

And if you want you can buy 2 and have a backup and still not spend as much.

You can....if you want to have a backup that maybe gets used in 5-10 years lol. I would say by the time you need it you probably will have a bigger tank and need a bigger pump...Amazon can deliver in a day or two.

 

[billyocean]

No
