Mine's been a champ since day one. Very quiet IME.

I use the 100x-px

Mine is only used to pump water from freshwater holding tank to saltwater mixing tank, but has been reliable and is extremely quiet!!

Just jumping on to say that the panworld was the best pump (tied with the dart) that I've owned. On my new system, I'll be running three of them. Mine was quiet and ran flawlessly

Solid, quiet, powerful, reliable. Very easy to break down for cleaning too.

I have had mine now for 3 years with no issues. I got their biggest to pump water from my basement sump up the main display (15 feet away). I have to actually use a valve to slow down the water.

I had a 100 series and it worked well, but it was too loud for me. The tank sits in the living room and it was not quite imo. I went with a sequence dart and couldnt be hapier.
