Nice list, but one can by a danner mag pump and not have to buy another for about 20 years. They are just that good...
Oh. I did not even realize the don't carry them. I just assumed they did as they are very popular, simple plug n play submersible pumps.Unfortunately these videos are really the "Best of what BRS carries" and not what is necessarily the best out there. I am however looking forward to some real head height tests on the pumps that they do carry, everything from DC to AC and see what the numbers really are compared to what the flow charts from each manufacturer say.
I do like that they really gave props to the Abyzz but also limited there recommendation of it because of its price point and suggested something more realistic budget wise for most reefers.
I'm also curious as to why BRS, as big as they are, don't carry all the options out there. Offering Red Dragon or Mag Drives would be really nice to see, I love shopping on BRS' website more than Canadian websites but there are things they just don't offer and I can't purchase some of the products they push.

One issue I’ve noticed with cheaper DC pumps is that they don’t provide a cooling loop to prevent calcium deposits. The only ones that I know have a internal cooling loop across all the pumps are the Varios and Abyzz. This cuts back on maintenance .
Only the L2 has the cooling loop not the othersThe new Vectras and Red Dragons both have cooling loops on them as well although Red Dragons aren't really on the cheaper end of the spectrum. I'm not sure about the CORs though..
Will there be a continuation of pump testing eg head height comparisons?
Thanks Randy,
I will definitely be holding off on purchasing a pump until then. Can’t wait to see what happens.
in 12 yrs of running the 7 and 9 I remember only clean them twice, still running strong.Nice list, but one can by a danner mag pump and not have to buy another for about 20 years. They are just that good...
I just watched this and noticed you said that you were going to try to put together a sound proof room. You should check with your local engineering schools. They probably have an anechoic chamber designed for this type of experiment. If they are a research school I am sure it would be reasonably affordable or free if you time it so that they can use it for a teaching lab experiment. If you've never been in one, the rooms are so quiet it makes you slightly queasy until you get used to it - best way to collect sound data.
I am not sure why they need a soundproof room though. A standard room with measurement over ambient would work and it is what many of the computer tech websites do for their testing.
