Good pump but loud

Our 5000 model works great and has lots of power but it has been humming like crazy and can hear it in the next room. Not happy with this aspect.

An ok little pump. I just use it to move around k1 media inside my sump. Be aware that Foster n Smith mistakenly show them at 200mph and 400mph, they are not. Don't get confused, use the chart, that is correct.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not the best

I purchased the 400gph pump.
I do not like that the flow control is incorporated into the output stem. It makes it difficult to adjust the flow when tubing is attached. If you are not attaching tubing it might work for you.
Also, the pump vibrates when it is sitting on something solid (tank bottom). It does not vibrate when suspended in the water.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Quiet, weak housing

This pump was great while it lasted. I purchased the 800 model. It was quiet and powerful. The head height was about 3 feet and still delivered a lot of water to my tank from my sump.
The suction feet never really suctioned, not a deal breaker. After a few months, i started having troubles with it getting hung up. The motor was starting to die. When removing the cover to check the impeller, the tab snapped off with little force. The housung is very brittle. Now the cover wont secure on, which is ok, as the impeller wont turn without forcing it first. It's exceded its lifespan, time for something new.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This pump has been running outdoors on timer, 12hrs a day for one month, supporting a waterfall water feature. Flow rate is as good as new so far.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This little pump sits low in the sump. Able to keep water levels low due to this feature. Strong little pump too. I use it to filter my gfo. Keeps everything running well. I should get more of my other tanks.

Poor for external applications

The small.o-ring in the housing does not hold when the pump is used as and inline external return pump with a 2 foot head pressure. I tried two pumps after returning the first one. Second the abs plastic is weak and broke when I attempted unscrew it from a fitting..
No, I do not recommend this product.

This pump has plenty of lift, and works great.

This pump does the job. It is used with my UV light for my aquarium. The pump has plenty of lift for the head pressure that it has, pumping through the UV under the tank and back up 5' and into the top of the aquarium. My only complaint is that it is noisy. I intend to wrap it in insulation inside a box to quite it down in the future.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Where are Lifegard pumps manufactured?

Can you get the Quiet One 14000?
- Thank you for your question. Unfortunately we do not currently offer this model of pump and we are unable to special order products. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Can anyone post a picture of the pre-filter of the 800 model?
- Thank you for your question. We apologize, we are unable to supply a photo of the pre-filter. The pre-filter is a course material as opposed to a fine material and is suitable for catching larger particles of debris only; it would not be suitable for catching sand particles. We cannot advise using this where sand may enter into the intake as it may suck in sand and damage the impeller.

Which pump would be best as a return pump for a 40 gallon reef tank with a 10 gallon sump?
- Thank you for your question. The model 800 is overrated at the maximum GPH for a 40 gallon aquarium but would work with the PGH reduced before being put into operation. The contents of your aquarium would determine how many GPH you need cycling in your aquarium. The upper limit is approximately 5 x the volume of the aquarium every hour.

What size Lifegard Quiet One Pump do I need for a 75 gallon coral reef tank?
- It's recommended to turn over your tank water 10 times in an hour for saltwater, so a pump that can do 750 gph, however I assume that you are going to put the pump under your tank in the sump therefore you need a slightly larger pump to compensate for head pressure of a few feet, therefore the Quiet one 4000 or larger should do the job. It has a dial that you can turn to increase or decrease flow as well to fine tune.
