Fantastic little pump that is more powerful than you’d guess for its size
While the pump is not ‘dead silent’ in my application (as some reviewers say), it awfully quiet, and is a great little pump.I have mine in a 40g Sterilite tub I use as a sump on a 60g acrylic freshwater tank. The pump’s hose runs out the tub and returns to the tank via a 45-degree PVC elbow that slips tightly into one of the 3/4″ holes drilled into the top of the tank. I mention that because the PVC might be conducting some sound that would be absent if it were a soft hose at the return vs a PVC fitting. But if I turn all other equipment off, and just have the Sicce running, and press my ear against the tank (to hear what the fish hear), I get a low hum. However it’s so quiet the bubbling of the return at the surface is equally loud and so it’s not an annoying hum like previous pumps I’ve owned. (Just standing at the sump I can also hear a very low hum, but it’s extremely quiet, especially for such a powerful little pump.)Pros: the pump is very small, does not generate heat, and has an efficient motor. In my case the head is about 4′ but the distance to the return (horizontally) is another 5′. I have a 1.5″ bulkhead (drilled tank), draining down 1.5″ PVC into the tub and the pump keeps up perfectly with the overflow. A stronger pump would have needed to be dialed back. I couldn’t have picked a better one for this application. Surface sits about 5/8ths inch from top of tank.I’ve used Dolphin pumps in the past which lasted some 17 years in constant operation, but when the last one died, I found this Sicce as I wanted a quieter pump. It has them beat for sure. I’d buy it again in a second. In fact I’d never buy any other kind of pump. It’s been in operation now about a year and I can’t remember now, but I think it’s also self-cleaning. IAC I have never opened it, and it’s working as effortless and perfectly as the day I got it. The Dolphin had a foam prefilter that needed cleaning every 6mo or so, even though it was in a very clean sump.If you need a great pump, this is the one. I’ve been keeping fish for 27 years and Sicce will be my go-to pump from now on, assuming it stands the test of time.

Quiet.
As described, itâs powerful and quiet. My only complaint is that it doesnât have a 1/2 inch connector, itâs comes with a 3/4. Iâll live. Not taking away a star because I didnât read, and am mildly inconvenienced. Great product!

Effecient!
This Syncra Silent Pump lives up to its name. Itâs virtually inaudible and seems to do an effective job at cycling water through my internal filters. High quality and high performance at an affordable price.

Quiet, Versatile Pump with Some Wear & Tear Risks
I picked up the Syncra Silent 0.5 to replace an aging return pump in my freshwater tank, and for the most part, itâs been a solid upgrade. The âsilentâ branding holds upâwhen new, itâs very quiet and unobtrusive. The 185 GPH rate seems adequate for small setups, fountains, or other utility tasks.What works well:⢠The magnet/impeller design is smooth, giving it quieter operation than many pumps in its price range.⢠Itâs compact and easy to hide in a sump or behind decor.⢠Works across various applications (freshwater/salt, fountains, etc.) as marketed.Things Iâve noticed / potential drawbacks:⢠Over time, some users report the pump becoming louder, possibly due to wear on the shaft/impeller. ⢠In darker or tight installations, a slight ticking or vibration noise can emerge. One user noted a âslight ticking noiseâ after install.⢠Its head (vertical lift) is relatively low compared to larger pumpsâso it may struggle with higher elevation returns. Some performance tests show the 0.5 modelâs output is below ideal under head pressure.Summary:If youâre running a small-to-medium system or need a quiet, general-purpose pump (for fountains, small aquariums, or auxiliary setups), this Syncra 0.5 is a strong choice. Just donât expect flawless long-term silence under heavy load or after months of useâmaintenance (cleaning, inspecting the impeller shaft) will be important to prolong its performance.

Quiet as a church mouse
I have used a lot of small pumps for various projects over the years. I have an indoor fountain that needed a complete rebuild (25 old years with only minor repairs) and I always was a bit disappointed because the miniature pump I had been using (you know the one!) was loud enough to hear on the entire first floor of our 2 story home. I took a chance on this one because it advertised ‘silent’ not ‘quiet’ and it is made in Italy (I am Italian too). Well, the claim is absolutely true. It is possible to hear the pump if you are less than 12″ away from it, otherwise it is truly SILENT. You will need to have bit of patience as others have noted as the pump needs a few hours to ‘break in’ to silent. Don’t send it back until you’ve run it at least 3 hours. Hope this helps!!

Fail Product from a Great Company
I ordered this pump twice just to give the company a good chance, but both times the pump I received made super loud vibrations or even rattling sounds that nothing would fix or dampen. I’m able to know for sure the pumps were the issue because I ordered from a different brand and the pump they sent is silent (Landen). I was definitely expecting better from Sicce since it’s a brand I generally trust and they are an awesome company, but these pumps were a total fail for me. They seemed as powerful as advertised, but the noise was an absolute deal breaker.

Great aquarium pump for fulval flex 32.5 gallon aquarium
Excellent water pump for replacement of fulval flex 32.5 gallon aquarium. It was an upgrade to the old pump that was not moving water that effecient anymore. Actually I wish I would have upgraded earlier to this pump. It fits perfectly in the back compartment of this aquarium. And it moves the water better than the stock pump that comes with that aquarium kit. Easy to assemble and to set up. It is also a very durable pump and really well constructed.

Itâs been a year and this pump is still going strong after running almost 24/7 (turn off for feeding tank).It isnât perfectly silent, but I like it enough I have since got 2 more. One for water changes and another for another tank I am in the process of setting up.

Its ok but I highly recommend a pump that has a controller like USA CURRENT DC PUMP

This is a very good pump, and quite quiet (but not quite silent if used inline). If submerged though i’d say this pump would be barely noticeable. I had to rate this as 4 stars however due to the rated and actual flow being fairly different, the 1.5 flows about the same as am eco264 pump (measured 270, rated at 290), when it should be flowing significantly more. It is however much quieter and better built by far!
