is there a pump?

I need a pump with similar stats to a mag 36 but quieter.the mag 24 I have for a return isn't cuttn it and its a bit loud for my parents liking. So any suggestion? I was thinking a reeflo gold pump just not sure on model

 

Are you running internal or external? How big is your tank? Have you tried putting a neoprene mouse pad under the pump to stop vibrations?

 

Im running the mag 24 externally its on a bath towel folded up so its 3 inches thick or so plumbed with flex tubing.

 

Is it a humming noise or a rattling sound?
I have a much smaller mag9.5 (950 gph) and until I put some padding under it, I could hear it rattling on the bottom glas of the sump. Now it's a very, VERY silent humm.... almost have to get close and pay attention to it to hear it.

 

It sounds almmost like there's air stuck in it

 

Try panworld. They are extremely quiet and energy efficient.

 

I think the panworlds will be to small especially for the amount of power consumption

 

If you need absolutely quiet with high flow (not high pressure app), ATB Reeflo fit the bill. Pricey though .... but not as pricey as Red Dragons which also work.

 

Im my opinion, the Mag pumps are great, but they do best when used in a submerged situation. if you are going to do an external pump, use one that is designed for that, not one that can be used as either. I had a Quietone that was supposedly external safe that melted the carpet pad it was on. NOT GOOD. I used Reeflo pumps now and they are excellent

 

Reeflo/Dart pumps would probably be a better choice if you're looking external and lower noise. All the Danner (Mag) pumps are louder, but cheaper. You'll probably pay 2/3 for a Mag what you would for an equivalent Dart.
