Which pump is smaller, Eheim 1250 or Danner 5?
I currently have a Danner Mag 5 and have been swaying to change to an Eheim 1250 do to noise and shielding. Are they close to the same size. I already have my system to size and really don't feel like resizing many hoses.

Eheims are typically known for being quite large, DDen's site has the measurement
|
The Danner should be virtually silent if installed correctly and all the air is out. Those Eheims look way too big.
|
I have an air trap located at the top of my case. I believe all the air is out, but not sure. The only noise I hear from the pump is the low-toned hum of the motor. This is the noise I am not sure would get quieter if I were to do the impeller trick.
|
what are you using to absorb the pumps vibrations? ive found that foam works quite well, and that rubber (or an old mousepad) increases the low-pitched humming somewhat.
just try using different materials to insulate the pump; there will always be a humming noise tho (wrapping the entire pump up might quiet it as well...) |
Thanks cyco. I cut a square piece of foam that was used to ship my CD-RW and it works much better. I just got a P4-1.6A and was spoiled by the little noise a water cooling system makes because that stock cpu fan is loud as hell. Ordering the Maze 3 today.

I had a Danner 500 and return the noisy pump. Plus it did not even come close to delivering 500 GPH. This pump is a Eheim 1250 and very silent.
