That's right....Never mind...Now I remember why I didn't get it....Thanks for jogging my memory....

Mods can close....

Wait! I just bought one. Is there something that I should know about it? Thanks!

Very loud

I have been running a mag 12 in sump for over a year now and it doesn't seem noisy to me.

I agree with installman. You cant hear mine. I guess you can run them as an external and they might be noise then but as an internal its very quite

I've had mind for years, still no noise

My mag 12 was a noisy thing, I was running it externally though. I'm sure had it been in the sump it was have much much quieter.

They tend to generate a bit of heat too. I use a mag 3 for mixing salt water. It keeps 15g of water in a Brute just under 80 degrees.

If you think any mag pump is quiet you haven't heard a quiet pump yet. They are so old school and energy hogs.

As are metal halide and vho, but they are proven to work and have always been reliable for me.

I think for the price they're great pumps. Only other return pump I ran for awhile was a tunze silence 1073.02, I bought it used but it was a great pump. I'd also really like to try another DC pump or a water blaster pump.

As long as it's a workhorse. Any noise shouldn't be a problem since mine will be in a closet. From what Kory says, it seems like a free heater : )
