The Tunze silence pump is not new per se, but the one shown above is–this is Tunze’s newest low voltage twist, offering flow control over the already quiet Silence pump range.
Tunze is referring to their Silence Electronic 1073.05 pump as “intelligent” due to the micro-processor controlled motor which automatically adapts its speed to the pump load to minimize electrical consumption and will even shut off in the event the pump intake is blocked–once any debris is removed, the pump will restart after 20 seconds. Tunze estimates that the energy consumption is 30% less than “conventional pump motors”.
The Silence Electronic can be used as an in tank powerhead or as a variable speed return pump (on sub ~60g sized aquariums). In either case the Silence Electronic can connect to the Tunze Wavecontroller 7092 for a variety of operational modes and control. And even if not supported, some creative GBD readers will also find that the pump can also connect to a variety of 3rd party controllers.
Additional stats:
- Flow rate @ 15v : 211 – 476 gph
- Flow rate @ 24V: 291 – 476 gph
- Max head: 1.9m (74.8in)
MSRP on the Tunze Silence Electronic 1073.05 is currently €149.2.

Bomba da Tunze com dois ajustes de fluxo. #interzoo2010
This was mentioned on their website earler in the week.
Is there more control, besides the 2 input voltages.
The controller will ‘tune’ to what exactly?
flow rate? load will depend on head height ?
