Hmm, Some competition for Iwaki??

check out the price. The only thing that concerns me is the watercooled "wet mode". does that mean that it will dump its heat into the water loop? And check out it's dimentions.

seems to be nearly as powerful for half the price. 780gph @ 10.5ft for $63 USD

greenman100 · Aug 18, 2004

I suppose reliability is not an issue to you?

as powerful as what model iwaki in particular?

sandman001 · Aug 18, 2004

it seems to be about as powerful as a mag5, not exactly Iwaki territory.

We don't use L series Iwakis =p.

There are lots of high-end aquarium pumps that might put up similar numbers. Most of us use Iwakis for the same reason we used to use Eheim, nice specs on top of a great reputation.

Iwaki already has compitition in the form of laing D4, march pumps and laing other commerical pumps. Price wise the D4 beats it...can't comment on Iwaki noise.

i checked out the iwaki site and the z's are only rated @ 174 gph although they have a 22' head. Is this accurate I had to convert from liters and meters?

where would one get z's

crimedog · Aug 18, 2004

z's have an incredible amount of head, that pump only has 10.5' (less than a mag3).

it's not [email protected]' of head, it's 780gph@0' of head, or ~[email protected]' of head..

plus it's 45dba

em00guy · Aug 18, 2004

ahh, well i was comparing this pump to the rlt, the z's seem to be much better. Where is the best place to find a z?

The PS1 is what you would want, and the only one to get. However, that pump consumes 98W of power, not so good. They are quiet though and powerful.
