Does any budy use this for a return pump? If so how load is it. Also your over like or dislikes about the pump.

We do sell quite a few of them. I don't have a dB rating as the factory said (and it is true) noise varies substantially with placement and type of plumbing. I would say they are comparable to a Mag Drive but louder than an Eheim.

Roger,

What sized flexible tubing (ID) would I need for the Tunze Master Recirculation Pump? I plan to use this for getting water to my chiller from my sump. It has about 3 feet of head. Thanks.

It uses 3/4" the connector is 3/4" FPT so you would basically need an adapter from 3/4" MPT to hose barb and I would use 3/4" hose.

I purchased it from Marine Depot. I dont think its any louder than my eheim 1260. It is small and pushes the water where I need it. I used some silicone tubing (3/4 ID) that I had but 1 inch would have been ok. I had to really work to get the tubing on. Bottom line is that it works very well. Thanks.
