Innovatek Eheim HPPS Plus 12V Water Pump
Is this pump strong enough for:
LRWB G4 MCW55 PA120.3 presently I have an MCP 600 but the noise is driving me crazy...I need something quiter, if not the above suggested, what are my other options? cheers, a. |
My simulations show not a large performance hit from dropping to a MCP350.
Yes, the flow rate reduces but the Watts added by the pump is also reduced. What price performance? Eheim 1048 AC model's are noteworthy for performance vs noise. |
Hi, thanks for the response, I used your approximater, nice little tool
On the innovatek website they make this claim "Lifting height (head height): 5.5 ft+ More power than a Eheim 1048!" Is that a lie, or misleading? |

The Innovatek 1046s use a different rotor than fish prefer. When I first learned of the modified rotor I think it was only available aftermarket from german wc sites.
I have two machines running 1046s, both are built for silence: large passive radiators, CPU, GPU, chipset, HD coolers, pretty visual flow indicators, pressure compensating diaphrams ... and other Rube Goldberg-isms that amuse me... On a cold morning when I can see my breath a 1046 pushes 0.5 l/m through all that. I've burned out two of the 12v DC to euro AC HPPS inverters on the test bench. One of my theories is that those little inverters burn out if their connection to the pump is allowed to wiggle and spark. If you do anything other than set the pump in place with the HPPS converter snapped in place and never fiddling with it, I'd reccomend soldered connections between the pump and inverter. |
