Best ~500 GPH return pump

[JCM]

I'm looking for a quiet reliable return pump in the 500-600 GPH range. I looked at the Sicce Syncra 2.0, but it has bad reviews stating its loud. Ive also looked at DC pumps but seems they're unreliable? Eheim 1260 is the front runner at this point, but looking for other options. Thanks!

Eheim are awesome to be honest, my first choice in pumps. Believe it or not Jebao pumps are very quiet. I replaced my magdrives with Jebaos for that reason. I am always sure to just keep a extra on hand as they are not as reliable.
Eheim may be a little louder than the Jebao, but still a much better pump overall.

I have the Eheim CompactON 3000 (792 GPH) which in my opinion is very quiet.

EHEIM...bulletproof and last forever

Thanks!

Sounds like the Eheim 1260 is the best option. I definitely value dependability.

Jebao with sine wave.
Absolutely silent.
