Need help in selecting a pump for my water change system

[Jim B]

Hey everyone I need some help. I'm looking for a new pump for my water draining. I currently use a Countryline 1/12 HP pulling 8-12 ft head and will drain about 2-2 1/2 gallons a minute. I change probably around 100 gallons daily and 300 twice a week. The main issue is how loud this thing is. I'm looking for something that can get to about 5 gallons a min ++ and be more quite. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can find out my current water change set up here.

Got it Jim , hard plumbed into the system from what I see there. I have what they refer to as a utility pump I was going to use for my saltwater , when I get a few minutes I will check the rating on it. As far as noise that doesn't bother me since it is in the basement and I will only use it to fill. I syphon to the sink to drain.

Thanks scuba my pump is in a pantry near the bedrooms so noise is a concern since I do WC's at all hours. I work swing shifts so my WC schedule changes but happens everyday without question

Draining to sink just takes too long I do 100 - 300 gallons a day. I have a new return pump so I can fill at around 5-6 gallons a min. Like to find a drain pump that would equal or beat that.
