Haven't had much of a chance to play with the pump since I got the 3/8" OD outlet.
A quick pressure test did seem to show that the pump's static pressure head was better than with the 1/2" OD outlet, however overall flow rates did not improve. Pump was a touch quieter but still has a pinging/rattling sound that will annoy the truly quiet conscious. The pump would be as quiet as an Eheim 1250 if I could only
get this faint pinging noise to go away. There seems to be something faintly touching the back of the sealed motor section which I can't get to.
No, not a Mag 3 beater, or even matcher. Power-wise it's mid-way between an Eheim 1250 and an MCP600. Still good - just not special.
