Best Water Pump For Your Money?

[House 64]

Okay, I checked the "Sticky" but don't think it covers what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a water pump and there are so many types. I'm looking for something that is energy efficient, affordable with a good flow rate. Looking for something with about a 900-1000 gph turnover rate. I initially looking at the Rio Hyperflow 17 but there are so many other brands.... any input on pumps? Would like some actual reviews from MFK members.... What are you guys using? Thanks.

I have a quiet one 4000 & 6000. I love them both. They run great and are really easy to take apart and clean. And you gotta love the cheap price as Chompers showed.

Go with the 6000 if you want 1000 after head height (5 ft).
