Recommend a SILENT water pump - Please

Brizzles · 12 Apr 2006 at 11:41

Hi,

Been using a Hydor L20 pump for my watercooling set-up.

RMA'd one because of buzzing but replacement is not much better.

Can anyone recommend a silent pump ?

To fit 10mm o/d ( 6/7mm i/d) tubing.

Please help , I'm running out of Nurofens !

Cheers,

Mark

Eheim 1048 with 10mm to 8mm reducers, or whatever size tubing you use.

DDC-12v known as the MCP350 from Swiftech

I can only comment about my Eheim 1048 as Iit is the only pump I ever had.

It is silent though when the system is fully bled, I have to touch it to know it is on, I did however mount it on rubber 'feet' to stop vibrations going to the case.

DDC 12v, Small and quite., However i also have the D5 and its adjustable so that would be my first choice.

DDC aka swiffy mcp350 is your best choice

personaly i would recommend the d5 (aka mcp655) though.

I had a hydor l30 and it was junk. I bought a 1048 and it was a great pump

As an aquarist and experienced user of all manner and make of domestic water-shifting equipment, I have but one word for you and anybody else looking for a quiet, efficient water pump. Eheim.

Ditto that.. Eheim are reliable over a long period of time... Ask anyone with an aquarium!

Eheim make great pumps if you have a case the size of a small planet. But as someone who swore by 1250s for years, I have finally replaced mine with an MCP350 which is a quarter of the size.

Gone for Eheim 1048.

Cheers,
