as for reviews, I heard that it doesn't always start back up after a power failure, but other then that, seems like a great value and low power consumption

I use a smaller model and have never had a problem with it. It will restart after the power goes off. It's not as quiet as the last says it is.

fas917,

I use the larger 6000 model as part of a closed loop and it is pretty quiet. Because mine is mounted above the water level it takes a bit to restart after being turned off but otherwise, it always turns on.

Awesome reviews. I was looking at this pump as minor upgrade in flow and to cut electric cost in the future. I can feel more confident in buying it now

I would also look at the Eheim pumps as they're quiet, quietier than the Quiet One pumps, and also use less electric.

i've used the 6000 for half year now. its relatively quiet compare to most other 1500 gph pumps(low hum when listen close). 1 of the reason y some says it dont power up after stop is because it was design to shut off when overheat. after it cools off, it should restarts(needs to be unplug 1st). dont put it in an enclosed area.
eheim is good too, but it seems to be more $ n highest is 1262gph i think.

Which model eheim uses less electric for the similiar gph?

The Quietone 4000 he was looking at uses 50W @ 1017gph

Eheim 1262 uses 80W @ 900gph

If there is a Eheim which is more efficient, I might get it so long as it doesn't cost much more then the 1262. Mainly because of its reputation for reliability for years and you'll also save a little bit on electric along the way.

I was saying that it used less electric then the other pumps not nesscary the Quiet One pump.

I had the 4000 on my 72 gallon as a return. And i have to give it a thumbs down... It was very quiet and low power... But flow was very low... Now useing eheim 1262... Quieter and much more flow...
