Pump Tunze Silence 1073.050 The new test!
[image footage]
As we have already had occasion to comment in the test on the pumps Tunze, we were able to criticize the behavior of the electronic return pump Tunze 1073.050, a pump with incredible quality, but that it hadn’t impressed with the data we measured. After contacting the company in conjunction with the publication of the article, the same Tunze assured us that it would provide a new pump to redo all of our tests.
As usual, we measured the prevalence, output and consumption. Unlike the last time when we went to Sicce factory to make measurements complete and accurate, we just did our “homemade” test but now well standardized.

New Tunze electronic pump 1073.050 put to the test
After the test we did recently on Tunze pumps, we had commented about return pump electronic Tunze 1073.050, a pump with incredible skills, had not been impressed us with data we measured. After promptly contacted the company in conjunction with the publication of the article of the test, the same Tunze assured us that she would soon provide a new pump to redo all of our tests, since the values we measured were not consistent with their measurements, making us think of a pump obviously defective in our possession.
The new pump to be tested is finally here and soon we will recreate the conditions of the test to measure its performance.
If you want to read what we tested, like we had done and especially what we got, you can do so by reading the following article: Tunze Silence pumps 1073.020 – 1073.040 – 1073.050: The Total Comparative Test

Return Pumps: tests and real measurements compared
The project of the return pumps is now old and started with the previous article “return pumps: calculating the flow” that I invite you to read, and where I proposed an excel file, downloadable, editable with most of the pumps on the market, which were often recommended as return pumps in the forums and among hobbyists. The file made possible from the data of the pumps and the prevalence of each tank, get a pump flow rate calculated for each individual pump.
Although the file would be updated by anyone, I was always curious to know how pumps would behave in reality as well as declared by individual manufacturers.
During the Zoomark held in Bologna, Italy last year, we decided to contact some companies in the aquarium industry to do a comparative test of the pumps.
Some have enthusiastically joined, in true alphabetical order, Eheim, Tunzeand Sicce, and they have provided the pumps subject of our comprensive test.… More:

Tunze’s Next Move
In the wake of the article, Experimental Comparison of Measured Flow Output of Aquarium Propeller Pumps, a lot of Tunze owners and curious onlookers were left wondering what their next move would be. Due to the fact they were shown the article before it was published, Tunze was not caught unaware and quickly put out a press release in which they described the methods which got them their flow numbers as well as some plans for the future. To be quick, it left me less than satisfied and wanting some more details about what was going to come next. A conversation with Roger Vitko of Tunze after the jump…… More:
