Search the forums, there are many threads dealing with recommended pumps, noise levels, head, and flow-rates.
Be very careful here. We've seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that the pumps fail. However, I wouldn't bet my house on it being a bad design. What I will say is that C-Systems did not show an ability to quickly handle customer problems when they did arise.

Remember that we may not be seeing a truly representative sample when we see issues. I'd like for us to see the failure data from both Laing and C-Systems, but I'm sure that they would not release such sensitive information.

I just wish I had a quieter pump than the Laing D5's that I have. I'm really tempted to switch out for an Eheim 1250 that I have laying around and see if it has enough oomph to keep the system within tolerances.
