For aquarium applications, how much heat does the pump transfer to the water in the tank?
Pan World pumps have an extremely low heat transfer rate, especially in fresh water tanks. For salt water tanks that are very sensitive to heat changes, a chiller might be necessary.

How often should I clean my Pan World pump?
The proper cleaning frequency of Pan World pumps depends on the specific pump application. Environmental variables such as salt water vs. fresh water, typical debris collection, etc. can play a factor in determining proper cleaning frequency. As a general rule, however, you should check the cleanliness of the pump once every three months. Plus, if you're using a pump in a salt water environment, it is recommended that you use a chemical additive that will break down the calcium deposits that typically form.

What is the noise rating of Pan World pumps?
Although Pan World pumps are extremely quiet, noise ratings are not currently available for our pumps.
