I have never seen ANY streams in any shops! Tell us who has them please

I guess that’s an issue that you need to discuss with your LFS.

so they do or they dont stock them? was a pretty simple question? i thought the least they would do is have brochures in their "pumps" section advertising that they CAN sell streams.

So are Eheim in a different league of their own, compared to Stream? Because I've ordered the 1250 for my returns.

Oh, maybe you guys are talking about powerheads as apposed to pumps?

I'm sure I've seen the Stream brand. Either at Jansens or Hollywood or Pet Barn (Lincoln Rd, Henderson). Can't remember which one.

Stream is a type of pump, not a brand. Stream pumps give a broad low pressure flow designed to add current to a tank. The ehiem (one of the best brands) type pumps have narrow high pressure flow and are designed for returns, closed loops, supplying equipment etc.

The Streams are power heads. Ehiem pumps are AWESOME. I use about 5 on my system for closed loop and running equipment, and Tunze Streams for additional in-tank circulation.

Never seen a price list that has Streams on it. Would like to see one....

has ANYONE actually had a seio running properly ie with the water inlets fully open? i just had a 620 replaced withg an 820 (cheers mike:) but it does the exact same impellor-rattle when you try to run it set on full. i can make it stop by blocking the outlet with my hand - the backpressure seems to push the blades back enough to stop wobbling. works fine set to "low", but they should work on full shouldnt they?

You'll be selling soon, 2 children....... :D

I'll buy your Tunzes and those horrible purple acros off you....

I've got 2 620 seios that have run on full since i got them without a problem.

I have been runing an 820 for around 6 months, on a timer turning on/off every 15 minutes, has a very brief rattle at startup, never not started.

has ANYONE actually had a seio running properly ie with the water inlets fully open?

No, i cant run the 1100 fully open either, even the flow from the 1100 is pretty poor.

Will take them back and try another lot. Do the 620 even put out any flow?

They certainly look nicer than that Tunze rubbish...

maybe they do, but at least the tunze work 99.9% of the time, not at 50% ratio.

My 1100 rattled and had a constant hum when it was new, but now it is quiet and runs well, it has a 2 second rattle when it starts up but other than that I can't complain.
