Tried it when it arrived to make sure it worked being it was labled as 'used'. Wow, does it work! Very powerful and quiet. Will install in pond in May.
I bought this to replace my main reef pump (Danner Supreme 18 in 35 gallon sump/140 gallon tank) when I added a chiller because the chiller added 6 feet of additional head pressure and I wanted a little more flow. I was going to move up to a Danner 24 but that is rated at around 250 watts. The Syncra 10 is rated at 145 watts and is advertized to be very quiet. It also puts out more GPH compared to the Danner 24, depending on the head feet. Well at first it was extremely loud and didn't sound right. I opened the impeller cover and saw that the outer O-ring was installed behind the impeller, so I switched it to between the impeller cover and impeller like it shows in the instructions. That worked but there is a noticeable hum and vibration, which is not too loud but not nearly as quiet as the Danner 18. Maybe the Danner 24 would be just as loud but not sure.
The pump did not come with suction cup feet but I had some laying around.
This pump is a monster of a water mover. Happy so far. Just wish it was as silent as Sicce claims.
