I’m building my w/c at the moment, and I need to choose a pump. Although i would like to get an Eheim, I can neither afford, nor fit it into the reservoir (I’m going to run the pump submersed). I thought around the 1000 L/h mark (or do I need more / less) would work pretty well, but I’m unsure of which brand i should buy. The way I’m building the system, the head on the pump would be a max of about 10cm (probably less). The entire system (well as much as possible) will be made using 16mm electrical conduit (which has a 12 mm internal diameter) and it will cool both my 1.8a P4 and my Gf4 Ti 4200 in a series arrangement.

I am thinking I will probably get one of these brands:
Eden
(I like how it has got 16mm barbs; it will most likely be pumping directly into the radiator, which has 16mm barbs)

Heto : (the URL is so long that it gets demented when i try to make a hyperlink to it)

go here and select 'Heto, Centrifugal Water Pump, 2800'

(I’m a bit wary; they seem very cheap in price, but the look pretty funky)

PondMaster
(They seem to be a division of Danner Co, who seem to also make one of the pumps that everyone recommends)

out of all of these companies, i only have experience with Eden, i got one of there 104G pumps (240 l/h) and it was whisper quiet (and really small), and it was strong enough to cool my Athlon.

If you can suggest a different good pump, I would be happy to know, and very grateful if you could tell me where to pick one up in Australia.

Thanks for everyone’s help!
