Nice Pump by John S

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/3/2009 from PLANO, IL UNITED STATES

Comments: I have had a Pan World 50PX-X pump for over 1 year. It performed well, but my Nu-Clear 530 Canister filter needed to be clean to maintain a strong water flow. I recently upgraded to a Pan World 150PS and am very pleased with the additional pumping power. When I purchased my original pump I didn't realize how much difference maximum head pressure made to gallons per hour when the filter gets dirty. I would recommend looking at max head as a major factor in picking a pump. Very quiet pump when it is not mounted on a sound board. I would recommend this pump to others. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Works Good by KEVIN WOO

Comments: It's pretty powerful and much more quiet than the Little Giant pump I replaced. The Little Giant pump I could hear from the other side of the house. With this pump, I can barely hear it when I close my cabinet. It didn't really come with any instructions and the box was somewhat lacking in details. While I'm sure I can figure it out, a little one page sheet on how to break down and clean the pump would have been nice. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Pan World Magnetic Water Pump by Jay

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/9/2009 from MEDFORD, OR UNITED STATES

Comments: An exellent pump, very quiet; that is if one does not mount it on a wooden wall or run the piping through a wood wall.Wood acts like a drum. Almost no sound when isolated mounting platform. 170 gallon to a refugium which is about 10 feet below the main display tank through a Squid 1 inch pipe above the main tank, than to 2 - 3/4"(1 inch preferred) to 6- 1/2" Loc-Line nozzels. Have two valves to control the pressue also on the Loc-Lines. Also use a Lamp Remote controller by "Pime" to turn off the pump to feed. This works good because no extra wiring and if the power turns off it remains in the last state and does not stay off when the power returns. Very happy with this pump! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Jet Plane or water pump? by DAN TETER

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/1/2009 from LITTLETON, CO UNITED STATES

Comments: This has got to be one of the loudest pumps I have ever seen. I thought that it would quiet down after a bit of time, but after 2 days it sounds just as loud. It does have good head pressure so if you can put it in a different room, you may have a chance. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

What gives? by CHRISTOPHER PENROD

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 6/26/2009 from SANDY HOOK, CT UNITED STATES

Comments: 2 years running and a 12 foot head on a 115 reef. Sorry this pump doesn't cut it. After 2 years the flow rate is about a third of what it used to be. Checked the lines, and the impeller, no blockage. Not looking forward to blowing 300 on a new pump. Thought the guy from Iwasaki made these. Very dissapointed. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I've owned two of these pumps for over a year and have a 300-gallon tank in the living room. I replaced my other ones for noise reasons.....after one year I having tried three other bands, I can say this is the quietest plump I have found on the market. Going to order another one today to run a new chiller. This is a great product Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Circulation Pump by Samuel Standridge

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 6/3/2009 from Hot Springs, AR

Comments: I LOVE this pump! It is very quiet for its size and volume of water it moves. It adds very little heat to my tank. I got it for Christmas of 2006 and it has been a solid worker ever since it was setup the next day. I don't see any reason it wont stay that way for a long time to come. It's a Great pump! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Very Quite by MARK ESTUPINIAN

Posted on 5/29/2009 from MONTCLAIR, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have a Iwaki MD40RLXT pump that runs my ETSS skimmer. It’s a good pump but a little noisy. I decided to try this pump over buying another Iwaki for my return pump. It is twice as quite as the Iwaki. I have to touch it to know if it’s on or not. Has plenty of flow. Very well made and less expensive to boot. It’s a no brainer. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

inconvenience by TAMAS JUHASZ

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/7/2009 from OCALA, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: So far the product it self is up and running nicely. However, upon receiving the pump I think the company who makes and or sells it should let it's customers know you will need a plug and a 1" threaded fitting, or supply the parts. Just an inconvenience, when you are excited in getting your new pump up and running. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Pump by RENE DREIOCKER

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/5/2009 from ROCHESTER HILLS, MI UNITED STA

Comments: This pump does not promise too much. It runs very quiet and smooth. I use it as return pump to get the water from my 50 gal sump back into the tank. The sump is located in my basement and the tank is a level upstairs. Despite of the hight (over ten feet) it still provides a great water flow through four nozzels and a wave maker. Perfect for a SPS coral tank where strong currents are required. My wife says it is a whirlpool ;-) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is the first return pump I have purchased. It is smooth quiet and started right up. Seems very well built. The only thing I would change is to add a power switch on the pump or cord. I am pumping from a room 15 feet away from the tank and that is 5 feet off the ground. The pressure and flow at the tank are great. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Have only had in use for one week. This is the second Pan World pump I have bought. I am using this to return water from a remote dsb/refugium to my main tank. Decided to go with a low flow pump with lots of head so I would not need to dial down a more powerful pump. Works great with a lot of head pressure. Very quiet. Could not be happier. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

WOW by MICHAEL LAGAMBA

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 6/1/2008 from MOUNT LAUREL, NJ UNITED STATES

Comments: This pump is POWERFUL!! Great value for the money. It is quiet for its size and sets up very easy with 1"FPT 1" barbs. Word of caution. this pump is NOT for an average aquarium! It is for LARGE setups. Once engaged, it amlost blew my fish out of the water. I over estimated my needs. The pump is now OOS, but will make a great emergency pump for large volume water removal from the tank. It is a GREAT pump for lagre applications whee 2000+ GPH watermovement will not bve disruptive to the ganiyants of the enclosure. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Pump So Far by chrisO

Posted on 3/2/2008 from BREMERTON, WA UNITED STATES

Comments: I've been running the Panworld 50PX-X for about two months now as my return pump and am pleased with this choice with one caveat. Right out of the box I thought that the fan was a bit noisy, so I did the mod that is thouroughly covered on the BIG reef forum and now the pump is really, really quiet and cool running to boot. I've had no issues with leaks, heat, or anything else for that matter. I'm very happy with this pump. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Pan World 150 PS by JEFFREY KING

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/25/2008 from SOUTH RIDING, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have a 20 gallon sump which gravity feeds the pump, which pushes the water through 3 Pentair 19" tall canisters (Paper Cartridge; Charcoal filter; and UV light). The system is in the basement and the tank in on the first floor. I used other pumps, but this is the most quiet pump I have had, and pushes 400 GPH through the system mentioned above as well as ten 90 degree turns and 12 feet of vertical lift (in total a 45 foot run). This system runs my 90 gallon tank quietly, and turns over enough water with great flow to keep my tank happy. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Pan World 100PX-X Magnetic Wat by Felix

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 1/24/2008 from GLENDALE, NY UNITED STATES

Comments: I got this pump since I read great reviews regarding noise. Noise was my main concern since I have managed to have a very quiet system with two Tunze 6100's, a JBJ chiller and H&S skimmer runned by gravity feed and Eheim pump. Well the Pan World was a totally something I did not ecpect to make such noise. It created a noise that sounded like a jet plane. The build of it is awsome though and that is why I gave it a 3 start instead of 1. I went and bought a Red Dragon 6.5 M3 pump. It cost almost 4 times as this Pan World, it pushes 1750 gph (almost twice the amount of Pan World 100PX-X), and it only uses 65 Watts, half the amount of energy of Pan World. and literally is dead quiet!!! You can't tell whether is running or not. I guess the price justifies the noise and the electric bill in the long run. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

excellent pumps by DANIEL WALTERS

Posted on 1/6/2008 from LAKE WALES, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I was using the posidon ps3 on a large DIY venturi skimmer. The posidon is very quiet, but the Pan World is a very close second. If the posidon is 30db,then the Pan World is 35db. However, the pressure does'nt compare. The Pan World pumps is much stronger. Much more quiet than the Iwaki, Little Giant and other pumps in this class. I am very happy I purchased this pump. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Quiet! by MATTHEW

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 11/6/2007 from LEBANON, OH UNITED STATES

Comments: The pump is very quiet and that was important to me since my tank is in my living room. It transfers little heat to the water. I did have one issue where the impellers locked up from being turned off for 3 days and the salt built up around the ceramic washers. I just had to remove the pump and clean the ceramic washers, but that makes me question how often I will have to pull it for maintenance. Otherwise, I am happy with its quietness and output power. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great pump by JUSTIN FRESE

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/11/2007 from SONOMA, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: Very pleased with the Pan World 150PS pump. It is reasonably quiet, and realy seems to move a lot of water. I have this pump sucking water out of a 30 gallon sump, pushing through (2) Pentair Aquatics "Double" inline filters, and a bit is split off into a fludized bed filter before returning to a 90 Gallon tank with about 6 foot high waterline. Even with a few unfortunate PVC elbows, I have about 300gph of real world water flow. This pump replaced (2) Quiet One 4000 pumps, which could only push about 200gph thought the same setup. The pressure guage on the Pentair filter now reads a constant 10psi, whereas the (2) QuietOne 4000's only registered about 4psi. I'm glad I got this model. NOt too big, but definately not too small. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
