Our conclusions
Max Height
| pump | declared | measured | deviation |
| sicce Syncra Nano | 70 cm | 67.3 cm | – 3.9 % |
The max height was very close to the declared data, a good result.
Output
| pump | declared | measured | deviation |
| sicce Syncra Nano | 400 l/h | 408 l/h | + 2 % |
The actual output was slightly higher than the declared.
Power consumption
| pump | declared | measured | deviation |
| sicce Syncra Nano | 2.8 w | 3.08 w | + 10% |
We found a higher power consumption than declared, but, as we couldn’t measured the power factor, the number itself is slightly unimportant.
Noise
| pump | declared | measured | deviation |
| sicce Syncra Nano | 30.3 dB | N.A. |
sicce does not declare the noise of their pump, but we have measured a very low value. Great result here.
Correspondence with declared data
Finally, just as a comparison, we give a matching value compared to data reported
| pump | max height | output | power consumption | Average |
| Sicce Syncra Nano | 96.1 % | 102 % | N.A. | 99.1 % |
We have not considered the power consumption when calculating the average value, because without the power factor it is meaningless.
Final thoughts
For ease of comparison, I have calculated this pump’s reference value, found by multiplying output per max height and dividing the result by two, the area under the curve of height and output in a graph, in this way, we will be able to easily compare different pumps. For the sicce Syncra Nano we have obtained 137 l*m/s, which results in a declared value of 140.
We liked the sicce Syncra Nano because it was very reliable, can be used as an all around pump and as a recirculating pump, is very quiet and is very very close to the declared values from sicce.
As to be expected from sicce, this is a well-made, durable pump, and the price is extremely low.
Dude, you mentioned you measured the noise level… you didn’t include that in the review….
Hi Lucas, you have to see the page two of the review 😉
