Yes, I've used aquarium pumps. the submersible pumps are good because they eliminate a problem if there is a leak. All of them are magnetic drive and water lubricated. The best pumps, I think are made by Eheim. Eheim is a German company and you might expect one of their pumps to run continosly 24x7 for 10 years or more. These pumps are nearly selent. It is hard to know it is is running unless you check the flow rate. "There "universal" is the one to get. They come in sizes to 3,400 liters per hour but you need the smallest size. They have US pipe threads and can be disassembled by hand with no tools for cleaning. They sell replacment parts.
Quality is about what you would expect from a preiumum brand German made pump. I am pretty surethey are all made in Germany, all of mine are. https://www.eheim.com/en_GB/products/technology/pumps/universal -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
