Those looked like great pumps! Never knew of them. Thanks for sharing.
HC MATERIALS? Is the seal saltwater designed ?Hi there - if it was me, I would use the below pump.... It's made by Pentair and was designed for pools. It's variable speed, fully programmable, very quiet, < $1300 at most places, and will pump 2000 gph at about 40ft of head pressure (double you your requirement) at about 2/3 full speed. It is modeled after the Sta-rite Max-E-Pro - my FAVORITE pump when I was installing pumps /automation. These lasted roughly 15 years before needing new shaft seals, and another 5 yr after that. EXTREMELY easy to service, self priming, external, and comes with pre filter. The metal lock ring is part of the beauty of the design - no bolts to unscrew or rust. Posts available at most local pool stores... Has been in production for ~ 20 years. Amazing pump - I'd take a peek.

Thank you for the advise, I will do that. I think I have made my choice to jump to MRC R6100 on both my returns. probably pulling the trigger today.Yeah I kind of knew it was dead but not that dead
Is the pump now working ok? I am a bit concerned because I suspect that the motor is drawing a lot more current than it should be. You might want to check out the amperage with a Killawatt meter before putting it back into the system.

Looks like a good choice. I think that your demands exceeded what Reeflo could supply. The MRC 6100 seems much better suited for this job.Thank you for the advise, I will do that. I think I have made my choice to jump to MRC R6100 on both my returns. probably pulling the trigger today.

I went with the HydroTek MRC 6100 pumps and love them, very well built, quiet, and run way cooler.Any update? What are your impressions of the Hydrotek pumps??

Running right at the advertised pump curve rate of 2400 @ 20' of head pressure.
I would highly recommend these pumps, in a few months they are releasing a size largger, then in under a year they will introduce another even larger one. If I remember correctly, the next release is going to be the 9000.

Post is 4 years old but their tank size is their name 14'.To OP. Just out of interest, how big is the system DT you’re running? That is a lot of flow you’re going for.
@14 foot reef you still liking this pump? I'm considering it as well. My need is for about 2,200 GPH at 21' feet of head.
After much searching, found this pump curve. Does anyone else have recommendations for a similar pump they like? AC/DC doesn't matter, as long as it meets the flow @ head.
850 Total gallons running from a garage 100' away form display tank.To OP. Just out of interest, how big is the system DT you’re running? That is a lot of flow you’re going for.
Mine are 4 years old now and I have never had them offline to repair. They are running as smooth as day 1 and only burn 300 watts avg at only 2.9 ampsThanks for posting the update on the MRC!
I had a scare and thought my Abyzz died the other day.... and that I would have to take out a third mortgage to get another one and keep my tank going. Good to know that the MRCs work well and don't spring leaks every 6 months!
