Mag 9.5

[Mykayel]

Well I got my mag 9.5 in that I ordered to replace my crapped out QuietOne 3000. It almost didn't fit in my sump though as I designed the return pump location to fit the QuietOne, I just had to turn the Mag on its side which was easy, just a minor plumbing change that what I had expected. Its nice being able to get ride of the two extra powerheads I had in teh tank for the lack fo flow that my backup return pump (way underpowered QuietOne 1200) had. So far I like the Mag9.5 alot, its quieter and has much more flow (which it should have) now I just hope it lasts more than the 8 months that the quietOne did and I expect that it will since it has a three year warranty.

what size plumbing are you using for the pump, i beleive if you use less than 1 inch you will be resticting the flow although it may not appear that way, will kick balls with 1 and above pvc.

I'm using 3/4... and I've always wondered about that, why do they only put a 3/4" outlet on it then?

that is a good question but 1" works better as bigger than 1" as well
