Reeflow Snapper Pump

[mheaven]

Hello reefers, I’m consider buying a Reeflow Snapper pump. I need your input on overall performance of this pump (reliable/ noise). All the input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Danny.

I think reeflo pumps are the the best for your buck
I have a DART and it runs near dead silent
Dolfin pumps are know to leak ..!!>>

I used a Snapper for almost 2 years. Its dead silent, and ran great. Plus comes with a 5 year warrenty

My sump is drilled for 1.5". I checked with thatpetplace and they said input/output are 1.5" The return to the tank ill reduce it to 1†for my Oceans Motion

I’ll be feeding my chiller and return line. I hope I could also feed my skimmer with it.
Right now I have an Iwaki 70 feeding my chiller and return. The skimmer I’m using a Panworld 100 px-x. It’s over powered right now since it only need about 780gph for the skimmer.

Running the skimmer with the snapper also may help out my return bulk heads since I don’t think they could handle the pump (2- 1.5" pvc return).

I like the fact that they only use 110watt max.

The Snapper has a 2" Intake so you would probably have to drill your sump hole larger.

I use a Snapper for return on my 300, good, quiet pump.

man is thatfishplace info not right. i called them to confirm and they said that they both are 1.5"
Something is not right...

Even if it is You CAN taper it down as long as the input is bigger than the output hose..
you'll lose a bit of power but you'll be fine.

The pump description states that the input must not be reduced in anyway.

I purchased the Reeflo Dart. After speaking with a rep from Reeflo they said my best choice would be the Dart to feed my skimmer, chiller, cal reactor & oceans motion.

They also said its ok to reduce the intake to 1.5" they dont recomend lower then that, also not to go any lower then 1" on the out put of the pump.

Thank you all for your input, Danny.
