and want it to be silent! I currently use the Velocity/Poseidon series, which is dead silent, but I know it adds a degree or two to the tank.
I'm about to re do my sump and plumbing, and am thinking about changing to another pump, possibly something a little stronger than the PS4 I'm currently running. Great pump, no issues at all, and really don't even know it's on unless you put your hand on it. Anyone have experience with this type of pump and used another they like?

Reason I ask is I've seen people say their Little Giant pumps were quiet, and when I tried one when I first set up the tank it was like a freight train running through my living room!

I've run the small GRI (Gorman Rupp) pump and it was the most quiet ext. I have used. Nice pump and it still was running after 2+ yrs before I took the system down.

I think you will have a hard time finding a pump of that capacity that is quieter than the T4. You may be able to increase flow by improving your plumbing setup (what is it?).
