Quietest, high head pump? Iwaki, Mag?
I've been struggling with my md20rz. I bought it used and it had a bad head and I'm pretty sure the bearings are bad. I got a new impellar an it is quieter but the bearing noise is still there. I can take the head off and just turn on the motor and it's still pretty loud.
My Mag3 is much much quieter. Does anyone else have a 20rz? How quiet do these get relative to a mag3 or a mcp600 or a 1048? Those are the pumps Ive used recently so I don't have anything else to reference the noise I'm going to try and replace the bearings/magnet on my MD20rz. If thats still too loud I'm going to give up on an iwaki. Problem is I have a large external setup with a lot of tubing. I need a high head pump. My mag3 does quite well, only a few degree rise over the iwaki. But I'm adding more blocks to my setup so I'm sure I will really start to feel the lose of the iwaki... Does anyone here have a large AND quiet pump? |

lol I love the illustration. You dont have the iwaki isolated on any foam or anything? That would drive me nuts right there. I REALLY hope new bearings make a world of a difference for me.
