was wondering what option you guys would think would be best and most quiet? I plan on having 8 50gal totes and want to pump around 250-400 gph into each res with 4 stones in each res while keeping noise and electric consumption to a minimum my question: should i get 8 4-outlet pumps (254 gph, 8.5W) for each tote? it’d be 68W total. i have a couple 2-oulet ones and they’re kinda noisy i used a decibel app on my phone and it said my 2-outlet is 60db but I’m not too sure how accurate it is or should i get 3 (40w, 753 gph) 12-outlet pond master pumps which would be 120W total with 251/gph per 4 hoses? it’d be twice the electric but they say their pumps are 40 decibels and I’ve read they’re the best out or if you guys have any other suggestions or know of a more quiet/ecofriendly pump let me know. thanks
I'd go with the pond master, cheap ones will always be loud and the seals/orings wear out from constant use making them even louder and less effective.
only thing that kind of sucks is id have to buy 3 of them but thats a valid point even my 2 outlet i have now is way louder than i expected
