Uk sump pumps

[joehanney]

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend me a sump pump that runs very quietly, needs to be about 5000/6000 lph.
At the momment I'm running a cheap Haliea pump and the noise of it is really doing my head in. To point of me jacking in my sump and going for a FX5 or two.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Joe

im using 2 x eheim compact 5000's for my new sump when it arrives. i tried them in the bath to make sure they work fine and they appear to be very quiet and their flow is easily controlled by a dial on the side.
they were about £70 each from ebay although i think they have went up a bit since i bought them before xmas.

a mate of mine used to use Oceanrunner pumps for his sump-he rated them

just ordered a ehiem compact 5000, hopefully it will be quieter than the rubbish I've got now.
don't ever buy a hailea , they are so loud and vibrate the whole sump. the only thing i can see them good for is aiding water changes or lining the wheelie bin lol

i nearly went with hailea too before i noticed the eheim ones. at least now i know.

I suppose you get what you pay for
