Eheim are great, quiet,powerful and individually adjustable and well priced when you consider how many Aquaones.
Bought a couple of JUN brand ACO-5502 (10 or so years ago)(smaller than what you've mentioned) they have been fantastic(quiet, no maintenance required so far, they just keep working great.)
Although I havn't seen them for years, so I did a search and it appears Mr. Jun is the boss of Hailea(spell check)
and their pumps seem to be identical to the ones I have.
cheers

Do you mean PISTON air pump. Didn't know that these were still available (secondhand?).I used to run several of these many years ago; and yes they are certainly quiet. BUT they were expensive to buy. expensive (relatively) to run, and had a rather poor air output.
Of course you may be referring to an electromagnetic piston pump, and not the mechanical piston- activated- by- a- small -squirrel-cage- motor pump. The former tend to start off quiet and progressively become noisier. Some detail would help!

Used to have Stellar but found they went noisy after a while.
I remember that Seaview told me I could replace the internals to get it quiet again.

The Aqua ones are hell noisy but larger output , so probably fine if you are putting them in a fish room .
I only came across this thread as Im trying to find a m2k3 deluxe to replace my Aqua one pump . Stop using the rena ages ago as it was about the same output as the Schego but 3 times the noise .
