PAN WORLD PUMP

[Kipp's Corals]

Hey, should be an easy one to answer.

I have the pan world (yellow) circulator pump for my mixing station. Went to make my first round of RODI water and had the pump going for about 4 hours and it started to get pretty warm, is this normal? can you run these pumps all of the time? would just be circulating my RODI water so it doesn't sit stagnant.

All pumps get warm when running.

Yea. If you want to be safe and keep your water from heating you can turn it on and off.

My pumps don't generate as much as I use old return pumps.

Totally normal. All pump do this - even DC ones. Most are just under the water where you cannot tell.

These are incredibly tough pumps. You almost have to REALLY try to mess them up. I have a handful of them that run like brand new and they are probably going on 15 to 20 years old.

As noted, these pumps will give you decades of reliable performance. I think I have owned all of the various aquarium models (many still languishing in a closet somewhere) and have yet to have a non user error failure. Think of heat radiating from the pump body as heat that isn’t going into your tank. BlueLine is rebadged PW.
