Best Return Pumps of 2022
Needless to say, choosing the right return pump takes careful consideration. You must choose a pump within your budget, that can provide the flow rate you need, and is compatible with your tank's filtration and plumbing. Noise level, control features, and efficiency cannot be ignored either to ensure a pump can deliver the performance you expect.
We chose our Best Return Pumps of 2022 taking all of these factors into consideration. Combined with the sales data, customer feedback, and the quality of service and support from the manufacturer we came up with a list of pumps that are undoubtedly the best options for your saltwater aquarium.
Sicce Syncra Silent and SDC
These Italian-made pumps have long been a hobby favorite for their quiet operation and reliable performance on saltwater aquariums. Easily one of the most popular return pump brands in the hobby.
The Syncra Silent is the classic AC pump that has always been the "go-to" option for dedicated hobbyists who know the importance of a reliable return pump. The Syncra SDC is their advanced DC controllable line of pumps that give hobbyists the power to control the pump speed and monitor performance remotely via an App.
EcoTech Marine Vectra
EcoTech Marine has a way of setting a new standard for innovation and performance with their products and Vectra series pumps most certainly carry that tradition. The Vectra is incredibly adaptable and can be optimized for efficient and safe performance using the multiple operational modes and calibration feature.
Using EcoTech's powerful Mobius mobile app, users have access to flow modes, speed control, active feedback, scheduling, battery back-up monitoring, and complete integration with other Mobius compatible products.
Neptune Systems COR
Control is the name of the game for Neptune Systems and their COR pump really pushes the boundaries for what a DC controllable pump can do. There are two models, the standalone COR-20 and ApexReady COR-15 which means Apex or not, you can experience the efficiency and power of the COR pump.
When connected to your Neptune Systems Apex you gain access to incredible control and protection features that cannot be found elsewhere. Using the Apex Fusion interface, hobbyists get active pump monitoring, can create custom flow schedules, and set up alerts and notifications to notify you directly should something go wrong with the pump in your absence.
