Via aqua pumps?

[Envy07]

Are the via aqua pumps any good? Heard from some that they are reliable and quiet.

And whats the difference b/w the 306 and the 1300? Why is the 1300 more $$ but produces less gph/ft.

Thank you

I have an 1800, been using it as a sump return for 14 months now, no problems and I have even inadvertantly run it dry.

As per the pump differences, the 1300 is a higher head pump. The 360 is 152 GPH @ 0 feet, and will pump up to 3 feet max head. The 1300 on the other hand does 370 GPH @ 0 feet, with a max head of 6 feet. There are curves for these pumps out there to show GPH at various head heights, and I believe it is either premium aquatics or marine depot that have them online.

hey thanks for the response ben...

I was referring to the via aqua 306 rated at about 560gph or something. It seems this pump is older than the 1300...
