tigerv503 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Reeflo pumps are good the downside, leaking seal and loud bearing after a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 If you look at BRS they list the newer pumps, I bought mine there. The Snapper is/was 2400gph and the dart 3600gph. They have a good rep but a few problems in the past, i think the newer pumps have a better rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCityAquarium Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The new snapper pumps come with two impellers. just switch the impellers in the new model and you can have either the snapper or dart now. Great pump!! Highly recommended!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 How do I know which impeller is which? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I you support it properly the bearings will last longer. Even a leaking reeflo pump can stop leaking if properly supported. This is what happened with mine, so I have a brand new set of bearings now. Great pumps and customer support. There are better products on the market, especially for noise, like Red Dragon. But they cost about $900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Just like nick said. I bought a new snapper and grabbed a dart impeller for $20 to make it a dart. The grooves on the inside of the dart impeller are twice as wide as the snapper impeller so it's able to push more water through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
