My Dolphin pump died this year so I replaced it with a Sequence Reeflo. The Reeflo is quieter than the Dolphin and much more compact despite the higher flow rating.

The Dolphin pump always leaked. I upgraded it to the marine seal the second time I changed it; it too always weeped. That was the pumps demise in the end. This last time I pulled it apart, the motor shaft was too corroded to take the new seal kit (which I had on hand for this eventuallity). Personally I wouldn't reccomend them too highly.

So if you do buy one and want a marine seal kit for it, I have one.

Really? I had a reeflo pump and thought it sounded like a turbine compared to my Dolphin, mind you my dolphin sounded pretty loud compared to my iwaki....so who knows

First person to come pick it up or cover the postage to ship it and it's yours.
