Need inline pump suggestion

EPirate · Jan 1, 2005

I got $50 to spend on a inline pump. Heres my specs on my current system i need hte pump for.

1/2 tubing
1 MAze 4 CPu block
1 MAze 4 AGP block
Black Ice Pro rad

Need a decent pump that should perform pretty well with that if anyone can help.

Well most current dc pumps are more than $50.

Expanding the search a little, some people may think the eheim 1048 is underpowered, but it does have decent power, is very quiet, and should be about $50.

well i think i can go abit over 50 got a suggestion?

For the price range you are looking at the Mag3 would probably be best with the D4/MCP650 also being a good choice altho more expensive. Personally the only two pumps I like are the MCP350/laing DDC and the MCP600/AQX 50Z but both of those are in the $80 range and would not make a good fit with your Maze4 which will like increased flow over high pressure.

I like my Mag 3 alot. Had to fix the leak they are cursed of, but no big deal. Great pump for the price.

Yup, for that price get a Mag 3. Make sure you use plastic barbs, and seal up the housing with silicone.

If you have a bit more i would get a EHEIM 1250. Great pump, dont have the humm noise the mag has(mine has).

I got the mag 3 very nice pump. Had no choice after the via took a wrong turn. The only problem i have now is the size of the mag. it is quiet a bit bigger then the via was. So i ordered a new pump hopeing it will be here tommorow. http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=135&cat=0&page=1 so ill let you guys now how this one runs when it is installed.

Well he can't go with a MCP350 becuase it's 3/8 and he said he has 1/2. But it is one of the best pumps and VERY quiet.
