Quiet one pumps

I had the 6000 model. Had it running a closed loop and then my skimmer. Worked great. It was silent but if used in a sump put off a little bit of heat. Good for me because I don't use a heater. Ran it for about 3 years with no problems.
 
It will be used in a basement so a little heat wont hurt ill just turn down my heaters a little. I was just curious because they seem alot cheaper than others. Also i noticed marine depot charging 20 bucks more than dr fosters and smith for the same pump
 
They do not always self prime, so getting them to restart after shutting down is some times a pita. I use the top of my turkey baster to get it running. Not the quietest of pump, I would prefer Ehiem or even an Ocean Runner. I will be replacing mine in the future. Mine, the 3000, is an ok pump, but I really believe it is all what you pay for.
 
Well i spent the extra money and went with the Eheim 1260 pump. You were right you get what you pay for.
