Has anyone used eithor of these two pumps before

Heto, Centrifugal Water Pump, 6800

or

Weipro, 6000 WH

I am going to get two pumps(weipro is cheeper, introductory price) as a return for the sump on my new 15o gal tank.

:rolleyes:
 
Haven't used either, but this might help you decide. If the GPH are the same for both, then see which offers a better warranty. The pump is not a place to skimp--if it breaks, you're going to have to replace it quickly, and that can be a huge pain. Reliablilty is very important. The better the warranty offered, the less problems they expect to have (ie, if your car comes with a 50000 warranty, they don't expect to be spending money on fixing as many problems as a car that comes with one for 25000).
 
yeah they both have a one year warranty so i cant use that to decide. However the heto is 110 watts and the weipro is only 60 watts. they both have a similar flow rate so could this power be an indication of their robustness?
 
in my opinion i would go with a more high quality brand, so you dont run into any problems, go with a IWAKI or EHEIM.
 
i cant afford an eihm right now let alone two. The exchange rate is not very kind at the moment. I think i will go with the heto as it is a lot more professionally finished and can definantly take the marine environment, i think heto also makes labratory equipment. On the other hand the weipro comes from a factory china and they couldnt even properly translate their web site, the pump looks a bit less robust and i am not 100% sure about its marine handling ability.
