Hi people
I am up grading my water pump from a 1260 to one with more volume.I have always had Eheim pumps so have never really looked at other pumps much but now need more water flow then Eheim can help me with.

I am looking at the Pentair Quiet One 6000. Has anyone had any experience with these pumps if so how do you rate them ?
And the Aquamedic Ocean runner OR6000 same goes for this one ?
Any info on these pumps would be great :)

thx

I have 2 of the OR6500's...

They are like Volvos... big and chunky but will never let you down.

Hi Proteus
Thanks for the info do they make much noise thats the only reason I was looking at the Quiet one.The Aquamedic pumps do look like they are made tough.I thing thats the way I will go.

thx
