Red Dragon 3 Speedy 150 watts

[hatfielj]

I downsized my tank and no longer need this. These pumps are incredible. Completely silent and very powerful. The build quality is second to none. Can be hooked up to Apex controllers if desired. It’s a little less than 2 years old. I only ran it at 90 watts, so very gentle use. I’m sad to see it go. Note, I have installed the euro to standard sized pipe converters so it can fit standard PVC pipes.

$850 shipped
PM if interested! Thanks!

So what are the actual sizes of the in/out with the US standard pipe adapters installed? The data sheet says it pushes about 1500 Gallons per hour at 12 feet of pressure ( basement sump) - it doesnt say what size pipe it is using to get that number, but the outgoing/pressure side of the pump has a 40 MM opening = between US 1.5 inch and 1.25 inch. So I am wondering does the adapter make the 40MM opening covert into a standard 1.25 or into a 1.5 inch pipe ?

The intake side is a 1.5". The output side (pictured below) is a 1.25". I forgot to mention that I had glued a 90 deg elbow to it. It is actually stepped down to a 1" PVC size though. So, if you get this you will get the following piece. If this arrangement doesn't work for your plumbing, let me know and we can work out a deal (I could replace the output plumbing for you).

These usually come with both metric and standard pieces that go in the collar, you can also order them from Royal Exclusiv out of Florida.

 

[hatfielj]

Thanks, yes you can order a new top piece from their website.

I am open to reasonable offers on this pump.

This may seem like a lot to spend on a pump to some, but this is the last pump you'll ever need to buy. These are so dependable and well made it will last you years and multiple systems if desired. Not to mention it's perfect for tanks in your main living space due to how perfectly silent it is. They sell for $1150 new. Also, in the rare event you should encounter problems with it, Royal Exclusiv has excellent customer service and will take care of problems promptly (I used their services to fix a skimmer issue I had and it was a breeze).

What size tank would this work on if the pump is under the stand?

 

[hatfielj]

It’s I believe rated for like 2200 gallons an hour. You would need to know what your overflow can handle though. I was using it on a 190 gallon and only had it dialed up to 90 watts (it goes up to 150 watts)

 

[hatfielj]

Accepting reasonable offers. Thanks

Is this pump still available?

 

[mfinn]

Can't believe this is still available.
Awesome pump and a steal at the original asking price.
I use this pump as my closed loop on my 240.

 

[hatfielj]

Pump still available. Agree, it's a steal right now and I'm almost ready to find a use for it and not sell it. These pumps are in a league of their own.

 

[hatfielj]

Sale Pending...will update thread when it's officially gone Thanks
