In 2009, Marineland released a new version of their famous Maxijet pump. The Maxijet Premium Utility Pump doesn't resemble its predecessor, as it is meant to be used as a return pump. There are seven models available, ranging from 106-gallons per hour (gph) to 1385gph.
This pump can be used internally or externally, meaning it can be submerged in the sump or plumbed via bulkhead to the pump. Few pumps have that feature, which makes this choice a flexible one for future needs. Using the included fittings, they can be screwed into the pumps threaded fittings, and flexible tubing can be used to deliver the water back to the display tank. The included fittings allow for two different tubing sizes. The Model 5500 can use 3/4" or 1" tubing on the barb connection. Note: The owner may want to use a cutting tool to trim off the 3/4" barb if they plan to use the 1" barb section, to avoid unnecessary restriction which results in lesser flow rates.
