I have found a pump, manufactured by Marinetech (Apparently a Canadian company) and they boast lowest Watt per Gallon of flow of any pump on the market.

I was wondering if anyone had any experinece with these pumps? As if it actualy has that low a wattage and if they are durable then I couldnt see why not to get them as it would save a ton on my power bill in the long run as 2 of these pumping a max of 6400gph would use 170W which is around half the average competator at that much flow (around 340-360W), and is still a good amount less then running 2 of the legondary red dragon pumps (around 230W) for the same amount of flow. I also realize they are less money then the red dragon so I doubt they have the same life span, but if they do pump at that low wattage and last a reasonalble time it would be a good investment I think.
Any input from people who have used them would be appretiated.
