Panworld Pumps Discontinued

ca1ore · Sep 11, 2020

My LFS told me that panworld were not making pumps for the aquarium industry anymore. He's not had a great record with these kinds of things, so i am curious whether anybody has heard the same? BRS has them as discontinued, so perhaps i will ask them. @randyBRS.

Interesting, I was looking for one recently. I figured corona stopped production but not a full-blown discontinuation. Really hoping thats not the case.

Looks like your right, BRS just posted Discontinued on their site.
I recently purchased one and will start looking for another one to keep as a backup before their supply is exhausted

Hopefully you can still get Iwaki and Blue line?

Blueline ARE panworld pumps. Champion has some stock, but many models are not available.

Oh, that's right

Looks like my accumulate stash of PanWorld and Blueline got even more valuable to me. It is a good thing that these things last for a long time. Might be a good idea to get a few backups.

Jeff from Lifereef may have some in stock.

Yup, that was back of mind for asking if anyone else had heard PW status. I have a bunch of mothballed pumps, but none that would be a permanent replacement for my main. Iwaki is always an option though.

Man, that’s sad! Marine depot has them out of stock. Premium aquatics has them discounted. Don’t look good. I only hope Iwaki continues to make them.

The pandemic is hitting everything hard right now! I’m hoping this will change for the better in the future!

These three were at one of my LFS for a long time and I made a super deal on all three today... will be handy some day for myself or some of my friends. I have no immediate use for these, so if somebody needs one as an emergency, there are a lot around on eBay still, but write me if you need to... 2x 200 and 1x 250.
