Choose me a pump

[Deano1956]

I recently put a 1" Mazzei injector to replace the 3/4" one and now I am going to upgrade the pump from the little giant #4, I have a line on a Panworld 200 (1740 gph) or an Iwaki 100Rlt 2100 gph. The Panworld of course draws way less watts (280 max) compared to 380 for the Iwaki. Do I need the big Iwaki or do you think the Panworld is enough? I'm leaning to the Panworld but let me know what you think.

Go with the Iwaki...it cost alot more but is a way better pump and you will get more circulation. The Iwaki runs quieter also..this is the pump that I am putting on my 240....get it from aqua direct.... it is way cheaper... 390 plus shipping..which is not too bad.

Actually there is a guy out your way that has a like new one for 180 that he's working out the shipping details, but the Iwaki 100 like I was saying will draw 100 watt more than the Panworld 200. BTW Panworlds they say are more quiet and last just as long since they are made by the same guy that headed up Iwaki at one time

I ended up going with the Panworld 200 and its really foaming good compared to the Little Giant 4. I plugged it into the killowatt meter and its drawing 222 watts on the Mazzei campared to the 89 watts on the Little Giant 4 but what can you do when it comes to toys.
