I just recently lost my 5th. Quiet One 14000 pump in less than 6 months.
I bought 2 from Dr.Foster & Smith in June 2007 and put them in service in late July 2007. Because the first pump went bad after the return limit from DRF&S I had to send it to Pentair Aquatics on my dime. This happened twice. After the third pump went bad they paid for return shipping. This happened 2 more times. I have spoke with them on numerous occasions and they are apologetic but the fact that the pumps die every couple of months is unacceptable.
I spoke with Gene there and he is refunding my money for the pumps, fingers crossed, this week. I have been fortunate that I have not lost any fish or damaged my UV as a result. My 4 Koralia #4s have saved my tank.
I original bought the pumps because I was looking for the quietest pumps out there. My tank is in my family room so silence is golden, tanks should be seen and not heard.
I am looking for a replacement, any suggestions. My friend at the LFS suggested the Dolphin AMP Master ES5500, EFFICIENCY is paramount.
I am looking for @ 2000 to 2500 GPH @ 8' of head.
