Tell me about your Sicce HF 12/16!

[Gp!]

Anyone using Sicce HF 12 or Sicce HF 16 pumps? I am plumbing a new system and was planning to use Reeflo Hammerheads that I have. However got to thinking that submersible might be a nicer route.

Anyone using these? Are their flow curves accurate for head pressure?

So I run a version of this pump for my reactor and of all the pumps I have going it's the one I dislike the most.
The pump has a pretty pronounced vibration that vibrates the stand and makes a constant hum. It's not terrible to the point I replace the pump but it is annoying and one day I will.

You may laugh but I've actually gotten a lot of mileage out of the Jebao pump which is DC and I can adjust the flow as needed with the controller. I abuse this thing and hardly clean it, runs for years. Best part is you can buy multiple pumps for the cost of one Sicce. The Jebao also comes with the barb fittings at pretty much any size you'd use so it's ready to go. For me, I have a brand new backup on deck just in case the production one stops and there's not heartache because the price is right.
