Help locating a pump

**The Dome** · 02-10-2008, 08:32 AM

I'm looking to replace my Panworld NH40PX with a Panworld 30-PI-Z to help create a bit more open space and maybe slightly better performance. The problem is finding this DC pump is very hard, I contacted Enjoy since I knew he had bought one, but he had purchased his through the owner of Cooltechnica who has apparently put his buisness on hold to care for a sick child. So I was wondering if anyone else knew where I could possible purchase one of these pumps?

Well the NH40PX ran non-stop for almost 2 1/2 years and has served me really well so I would like to stay with a company that has worked well for me.

Pan World makes serious, high-end, commercial duty pumps. The company is owned by an Iwaki refugee. Pan World's line tracks Iwaki's very closely, and Pan World pumps are as good as their respective Iwaki equivalents while less expensive. Powerful, rugged, quiet, dependable mag-drives.

I'm familiar with Pan World, and use one of their 100 series pumps on my larger aquarium.

As you already probably know the principal U.S. distributor is more medical supply than anything else. I bought my Pan World through Marine Depot in Orange County California. Marine Depot doesn't carry the model in which you're interested, but they're very friendly and service oriented. They may be able to put you in touch with a jobber, distributor, or the sales end of the company itself.

Good luck,
