Quiet Ones overheating?


I was thinking of replacing my MAG w/ a Quiet one, due to the noise.

Do ALL quietones have an overheating problem?

Thanks

all of the old inline versions that were blue had the overheating problem. some people have had good luck with the pink ones.

these are the Quiet One pumps that were external only. they are not submergible. the new ones are not near as good as the old ones. they are noisy. i know i have several that i wish i had not bought.

if you are looking for quiet, then about the only way to go is inline, and pumps like the Velocity.
