Rainbow Lifeguard Quiet One pumps???

rocketmanx · 01-14-2004, 07:22 PM

While shopping for an Iwaki pump I went to my usual stops and saw these pumps. Hadn't seen them before but they sound very nice and as the name implies, quiet

Anyone heard of these or used them before? The price aint too bad on em. I like the look of the design and the "cooling chambers". They may be a bit cooler running than a normal aquarium pump.

Looks nothing like the one I bought a couple of summers ago. It has the same name though. The one I have is very quiet, and never had a problem with it. Must be a "new and improved" design. The one I have is rated around 1150 gph and I paid about $100US for it. The funny thing is I bought it from the same store as your link.

Yeah, the original quiet one pump is awesome. It is relatively quiet, pumps a hell of a lot of water, and is tiny (for a pump that does 1150 gph and 15 ft head!). Works great with my lifegard filter system in my 50 gal tank.
