Hey all,
I have an Iwaki MD40RLXT that is beginning to make some rythmic mechanical noise so I don't know how long I can count on it to keep working. I've had my tank for nearly 10 years now and I've always used Iwaki's but I'm wondering if there are better pumps out there. I bought my first Iwaki on the recommendation of the folks that sold me the tank and they've worked great for me but I've never shopped around and I don't know how they stack up.
I would like any recommendations that you folks can give me concerning pumps that you've used. The 40 is supposed to make about 1200gph at 4' and I want to keep that amount of flow. I also need something that is quiet and runs cool. I've been searching for info but manufacturers will say that they're pumps are the best, of course, and most of the websites that sell them aren't much better. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
