Such a headache to search for the thread ...

hey, just wanted to let everyone know that I e-mailed rio and was told by them that as long as the pumps are constantly supplied with water they do not need to be submerged. This means that the hyperflow pumps can be run externally just like the mag pumps.

Have to be quiet and powerful, low Watt too.

hi, i had tried both b 4. both can run externally n as submerge pumps. 32hf consumes more wattage but it smaller in size. noise wise, they both r comparable. 32hf can b bought cheaper, if u know where 2 get.

4 me, i'll go 4 the 32hf.

still waiting leh, very busy recently... crazy abt fishing. once i caught a sea pen off changi beach. it was an accidental catch. poor thing.

anyway, i never tried running the 32hf externally b 4 due 2 the design of my sump. i would say at least i prefer 32hf 2 wh9000

Just wondering .. if we run the rio as a external pump, in theory, some of the heat of the pump will be escape via the air rather than the water right ?

p/s: Just had another email from TAAM, the Rio distributor in US that it can be run as external pump, but MUST not run dry. I think the design actually use the water to cool the pump.

Of course running external would be cooler, most water pumps cannot be run dry.

do a search in reefcentral and u will find how RIO got "overheated" and fire up.....

better be safe then sorrt

I am running Rio 14HF external for > 1 week. so far so good. Just you need to silicon it to avoid any leaking.
Actually without drilling on tank also can use external pump. r efer to my photo.

All those are refer to the old RIO pump. The new one, aka RIO hyperflow is perfectly normal. Been running 32HF since Nov~Dec last year ..
