HELP! Quiet 1 9000

[Nate77]

you can thread on adapters to change there size my mag 24 is a 1" outlet...

My mag18 is at 3/4".But making it bigger is as simple as screw on adapters.

I just like the idea of having little restriction at the pump. That's part of the reason I liked the design of the quiet1. It's easy to make it bigger or smaller, but it'll make me feel strange going from a 1.5" outlet to a 1". I guess I'll just have to trust the flow rate on the box. At this point I'll probably either go with a magdrive or an external pump. I can't complain a bit about my Little Giant....that thing is a tank.

lil giants are great and if you thread on a bigger outlet its not gonna be a big difference IMO....

No, I understand it wont be a big difference, but to me it just looks restrictive to have a big PVC line choked down to a small pump lol.

I've just started to look into the Sequence dart........that thing seems like 1 hell of a pump for a good price.

I just got this response from their VP

I would be happy to replace all your pumps at no charge. Please let me know which model pumps you have had problems with and your shipping address and I will process the warranty claim. I'm also wondering if you add any calcium solutions to your aquarium as this will shorten the life of the pumps. Thank you for choosing Pentair Aquatics.

So were going to be seeing Quiet one pumps for sale on E-bay?

 

[rallysman]

LOL!

They'll make a good backup. At least they have good customer service. I'll give the 4000s another shot. I liked them a lot up until they seized.
