Rio Hyperflow 26 Question

jvr1102 · 09/11/2012, 01:43 PM

In the five years I had my tank I have only used this pump as my main pump. 1590 Gph with 1" OD for the hose. My pump has finally gone out and I replaced it with the same one, it was very loud. I was sent a second one at no charge. Once again it was fine when I first plugged it in, and when I unplugged to do a water change I plugged it back in it was humming very loud again. I took it apart, everything seems to be fine. Can anybody recommend a different pump with similiar flow that is queit? It has to be submersible.

Thanks
