  Silent Pump

  Posted by ops on October 13, 2022 at 8:58 pm

  Hi, Can anyone recommend a quiet pump? I am looking for something around 1hp. I am using this to circulate water. I have a pump that works right now but its so loud so its driving me insane. Since the water circulates most of the day I would be great if I can reduce the noise.

  Thanks in advance.

  We use a riptide. Not sure about hp but does good job. Dead quiet.  https://www.blichmannengineering.com/riptide-brewing-pump.html

  Maybe look at a pool pump or something like that? Call a local pool company and see what they say.

  What diameter and lengths are your plumbing?  What’s your required flow rate?

  Trying to push high flow rates into small diameter plumbing with high back pressures is almost always going to be a screamer.

  Iwaki makes some great mag-drive centrifugals that are very quiet.  It’s why you see them very often in high-end home aquarium setups.  On the positive, you can often find them on eBay for good prices.

  The other option is opting for an oversized three phase pump, and use a frequency drive to dial it back to the bare minimum you need.
