Pan World good external pumps??

Joshsmit56001 · 12/17/2006, 07:25 PM

I am thinking of getting a Pan World high pressure pump and was wondering if they are good pumps. I have not heard much bad about them, what do you think??

Thanks,
Josh

I had one on my 120gal tank..

It was a great pump!

Are they pretty quiet??

Comparatively yes...
I had to stick a mousepad underneath mine to limit the vibration. It sounded like a faint dishwashing machine when running. It ran pretty cool and never failed.

Can't say much more than that.

I second that. Pan worlds are great pumps, I have 2 of the 50px running on my 25g, never a single problem. Relatively quiet.

I'm going to be selling one of the 50px (590gph) in the next 2 months if you're interested.
