Velocity Titanium Pump T4
ehiem 1262
quietone 6000
Pan World 50PX-X
Sicce Syncra Silent 4.0

I had quietone 6000 n iwaki. My inlet 1"/out 3/4". But I have ball valve on both with 1".

I changed out all my external pumps to Water Blasters. Quiet, almost no heat, good flow rate. Just a little on the pricey side.

+1 Water Blaster

thks for the info, guys.
I have my eye on the Water Blaster HY-3000W 120V = 792GPH / 38W ( 1" input 3/4" output) since the in/out matches my plumbing, but not sure if its strong enough since my old pump was a Quietone 600 (Maximum Head: 12.3' shut-off /Maximum Flow: 1506 gph).

I'm also checking out PanWorld 50PX-X but not sure due to noise levels from mix reviews.
