When it comes to high-flow/high-head pressure needs the Reeflo pumps are the way to go. With two different impellers, their value is that much greater. Reeflo is by far one of the most sought-after pumps for commercial systems, because they last a long time, built well, and they are quiet. They are not the smallest pump on the market but if you have the room they are the way to go.

Energy efficient, quiet and cool operation with maximum durability. Hybrid model includes kit to easily switch between Dart and Snapper pumps thus allowing you to dramatically change flow rate and power consumption to best meet the needs of your aquarium set up.

Quiet and moves a ton of Water By John on 1/14/2018

John would recommend this product to a friend

This pump has run on my 120 gallon tank non stop for 4 1/2 years. I use it for a closed loop system tied to an Oceans Motions 4-way. The only problems that arise is leakage around the seal which I think I replaced twice now. Also the Volute has become a bit stripped by the bolts but that’s expected after this much time. Bottom line is if you service and clean the prop annually and remove dust around the fan, this thing will last and is great for how quiet it is.
5 years, 3 cracked impellers By Ldog on 7/25/2016

Ldog wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

Good water moving pump, they will all leak from either mechanical seal failure or fractures at the point where the impeller threads onto the motor shaft, which results in a more significant leak. Keep spare pumps, they should sell them in pairs.
Very Reliable - Quiet By Melvin on 6/26/2016

I bought this pump 4 years ago and it's never failed yet. It is very quite. I love the fact you can change out the impellers for greater flow if needed. I have a spare on the shelf just in case. You can not make a mistake with this one if you buy it.

This pump is very quiet and works like a horse. The low heat generated by this pump is helpful in keeping chillers from overworking.

I bought this pump for a 180 Mixed Reef Tank, but I'm nowhere near ready to fire it up. I'm having trouble figuring out the plumbing. As soon as I get the tank up and running, I promise to give another more informative review
Nice and quiet pump By Peter on 5/4/2015

Peter would recommend this product to a friend

This pump runs very quiet. I like having the two size impellers I switched to the dart impeller to start with as I add a couple reactors and chiller if needed I might switch back to the snapper one. Changing the impeller was as easy as could be

Switched out my MAG 24 for this ReeFlo pump and I'm very happy with it. The noise reduction alone was worth it for me, not to mention the savings in power.
very nice By Andrew on 2/5/2015

The first pump I received was very noisy but contacted reeflo and the sent me out another pump with no problems excellent costumer service
Very Pleased!!! By Kyle on 1/11/2015

Kyle would recommend this product to a friend

This is my 3rd Reeflo Snapper over the years and hands down the best yet! Very quite and amazingly powerful.

I literally removed the old Snapper and swapped out for this new Hybrid. Had to dial it down a little........and even thinking about installing the smaller impeller.

Overall: 2 big thumbs up!!!

If i was going to drill a hole in the side of my sump to connect plumbing to this pump, What size bulkhead would I need?

Question posted on Sep 27, 2013 10:45:00 AM

Hey Joel,
The Reeflo Snapper/Dart has a 2" input on it so you would need a 2" bulkhead and pipe to feed it. A 2" bulkhead like this would be pretty typical:

Answer by: Bulk Reef Supply on Sep 27, 2013 10:45:00 AM

I purchased this pump several years ago. Although the pump is running fine, sounds perfectly normal, but I have noticed the flow thru my sump has slowed down somewhat. Does this pump require periodic cleaning ?

Question posted on May 6, 2017 11:15:00 AM

Hey there,
Due to the natural buildup of precipitate and organics, we recommend regularly breaking down and cleaning equipment such as pumps on a regular basis for best performance. After a longer period of time you may also find that a significant buildup has occurred on the plumbing itself which may also impede water flow.

Regards

Answer by: Zack (Admin) on May 9, 2017 10:37:00 PM

Can this be sized down to a 3/4 inlet and outlet?

Question posted on Jan 6, 2017 1:38:00 PM

Great question! You absolutely can reduce the input and output of these pumps. We do just that here at BRS on our water change stations! :-)

Answer by: Randy (Admin) on Jan 12, 2017 1:05:00 PM

Is there a headloss chart available? My sump is located 10 feet below my tank. I would like to know what flow I can expect.

Question posted on Jul 6, 2016 2:16:00 PM

Hey there!
I have included a link below for the chart. Either the dart or snapper impeller can be used to follow the correct height. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

At zero feet head, what is the max operating PSI on the output end?

Question posted on Feb 3, 2016 1:09:00 PM

Unfortunately this is not an answer that is available as for a PSI rating the plumbing and settings would need to be installed and established. Even after plumbing the PSI rating will vary and is quite a difficult calculation. Is there a specific need for a PSI rating for the pump in this situation? Let us know via email or phones and we will be more than willing to help!

Answer by: Connor (Admin) on Feb 24, 2016 5:50:00 PM

What is the minimum space needed next to sump for this pump? Will it fit in a 13 1/2" space?

Question posted on Aug 5, 2016 12:07:00 PM

Hi there,
The Snapper/Dart Hybrid pump has dimensions of 11” x 6.6” x 7” and that does not include an input fitting into the pump. Depending on the fitting length you are looking to use it would be a tight fit with that pump in a 13.5” space. If you look into using an elbow fitting or a nipple directly off the bulkhead it could work but you would want to double check with the fittings you plan on using.

Answer by: Charlie (Admin) on Aug 8, 2016 9:44:00 AM

The max head rating for these pumps...Is this the maximum to which it will pump water at all, or the point at which it starts to drop off substantially? Also does it mean a[12] foot vertical height?
Thanks

Question posted on Nov 4, 2013 6:59:00 AM

Hey Daniel,
The flow constantly will decrease as the back pressure increases. Beyond the maximum head height flow will stop. Head height is a measure of back pressure. The primary source of this back-pressure is gravity from pumping vertical distances but there is also other considerations like friction from the pipe, elbows, etc

Answer by: Bulk Reef Supply on Nov 4, 2013 6:59:00 AM

What is the dart snapper kit and it is included with pump right?

Question posted on Apr 17, 2014 6:59:00 AM

Hi David,
I haven't ever seen something labeled as a dart/snapper kit, but this product is the dart/snapper hybrid pump. The pump has both the dart and the snapper impellers with it and you can switch between them depending on how much flow you want.
