as Anyone Used Red Dragon Return Pumps?
Thinking baout buying one to replace a Reeflo Dart. Which one would be close to the dart? Are they as good as the skimmer pumps?

Not sure on which Red Dragon but the similar ATB Flowstar 3200 is comparable to the Dart. My friend swaped out a Dart for one of these and actually felt the flow was noticeably stronger.

Are you replacing a busted Dart, or one thats working?

I ask, because I've seen a lot of people talking about replacing pumps with red dragons to save electricity, and against a dart, you're talking 10w. You're never going to recoup the investment price in that case.


If your Dart is busted though...

No the dart is fine...no problems with it. Just wanted to save watts. and i dont need that much flow either.

Then go with the Flowstar 1800.
