Comments: I just purchase this TUNZE pump (1073.04) and its a NO-BRAINER that its is extremely quiet. Its blows the RIO Pumps out of the water in SIZE (Dimensions) to POWER (gph). I've had 3 different rio pumps from the 2500, 3500 to the Hyper flows. Which hyper flows are extremely nosier than the standard rio (for the first 3 weeks they say a breakn period needs to occur and when it did it was still humming loud), and my opinion they are all JUNK! They have broken down or get stuck and make this clicking sound and could never get them running again. The TUNZE might be a little pricey, but believe me ALL the TUNZE products are over engineered to perfection. This is my 3rd TUNZE product (2 different power heads: Tunze Turbelle® Stream 2 Pump 6065 & 6085) and im sticking to this brand, you got to love the GERMANS! When it comes to engineering they know their stuff hands down. Good Job! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I am pumping water into my Elos 70 at a head height of about 48 inches. This pump replaces a Eheim 1260, the GPH rating from the flow chart graph is not putting the GPH that it states from my own observations (i have it on high setting). Given that I love the size and the low noise. Great pump! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

BEST return pump period by DANIEL GARCIA

Comments: The title says it all. Uber-quiet and fully adjustable. I have the Eheim pump that I bought for my Elos 70 in it's original box and went straight for the Tunze. The quietest pump EVER! Trust Tunze to make suction cups that after they stick, they are ON and a bit difficult to remove but no noise whatsoever. Needed another pump for the Elos sump and bought another Tunze. Craftmanship is superb as with all Tunze products. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Much quieter than my last pump I had on my calcium reactor. Also I like the option of the flow adjustment. You can blast it at 670 gph or as little as 50gph. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Wrong impellers by Doug

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 2/12/2009

Comments: I ordered, and received two of these pumps (Tunze Recirculation Pump/Powerhead Silence 1073.020). I tried the first pump - its output was approximately half of the output (flow rate) that I get from my Mag 7. The ratings of these two pumps are similar (Mag 7 = ~700gpm; Tunze 1073.020 = 634 gpm). That was very disappointing. I called customer service (BTW, they were awesome!) and they asked me to try the second pump. The second pump gave me closer to the expected flow rate - however, the pump was making a terribly loud noise. I checked the impellers on both pumps - and even though they were the same model, the impellers were not remotely alike. The first pump's impeller blades were considerably smaller, and the power of the magnet considerably less than the second pump's impeller.This may just be a QA problem with a new product, but until it is resolved, I cannot recommend this pump.Customer support was very good about arranging for the return of these two pumps for full credit. I have returned them for a refund. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
