quiet external pump

[henrystyle]

Looking for a silent external pump. You guys know of any? Looking for something around 1150 gph. My iwaki 30 is starting to sound like a 747 thats warming up. Is there a way to quiet down my existing pump? (re lubricate maybe?)

Did that, just seems to have gotten louder... Enough to start getting on my nerves...

Yes I saw those. Leaning towards getting one.
Only thing is that the T4 comes with barbed ins/outs...I need Male threaded ins/outs or else I would have to do over my manifold.

Henry I did this. I got a piece of 1" flex pvc and added the male or female pvc adaptors to the end of it. I can post a pic later when I get home if you need to see what I am talking about. Its just a ***** to get the flex pvc on the ends of the pump.
