Reeflo Snapper Pump with Dart impeller installed or pan World 200ps?

marius880 · 03/02/2011, 10:32 PM

hey guys, i need someones opinion on these two pumps.. i never owned them and im about to buy them from a guy.

he has both, panworld 200ps, and the Reeflo Snapper Pump with Dart impeller installed. hes selling them both at the same price.

my application, they will be pumping 11 ft straight up from my basement to my 125 gal tank... i only want to get about 1000 gph in the main tank from the return, this tank is in my bedroom and dont want to much water flow from the return to go through the overflow box (bean animal style) i need it very quiet..

if you have any of these pumps... are they pretty quiet... do they vibrate a lot?

the pan world is preasure rated and the dart is not. so i know that the dart will lose some overhead... but it has a lot to spare...

my return is already 1" pvc, i might change it to 1.5 if necesary. (bulkheads are 1", those i cant change)

any input will help.

thank you

Not sure if the pan world will have too much head pressure for you to achieve that 1k gph, plus you will have to use at least 1.5" pvc pipe. The panworld will definitely get your flow where you want it and then some, the motor on it will be a lot more noisy where as the Dart will be very silent. Given your application I would go with the pan world.

i see... anyone that has a panworld... its a weird question, but lets say you had the pump in the sump and close the door and the pump is sitting on foam. can you still hear the motor or vibrate? because mine will be in the basement, and it would be awsome to not hear any movement..

so am i assuming right? mine will be the dart one since its converted... but since i dont have the 1.5 pvc pipe i wont be able to get that much flow... bummer...

cause im worried about the noise on the panworld... and everyone is saying that the dart is so much better, i guess not for what i want to use it for...

Ooops, I meant to say the Reeflo will have too much head pressure to deal with, for you to achieve that 1k gph.
