  • Wanted: Mag 12 or Mag 24

    I want to upgrade my Mag18 to a Mag24. Let me know if you can help me out with a trade first

    Edit: I already have a Mag 12 so instead of a single Mag 24 I could also run two Mag 12 by getting another. So I'm also open to buying a Mag 12 as well.

    Sunny did you try and oversize the return line? 1 1/4" or 1 1/2".

      I already run 1" hose on the Mag18 now John, but I need the extra flow of the Mag24 for a new upgrade.

              Re: or Trade: Mag 24

              Sorry to take this a little off subject... What size return comes on the mag 18 out of box? Will increasing the return line diameter increase flow?

                3/4" MPT on the pump impeller housing, don't know how to change that.

                      I haven't held an 18 and a 24 side by side so I don't know what's different. That part could work if both cases were the same.

                          Not sure either. But it could be an option. Good luck with your search bro.

                            Open to buying a Mag 12 as well so that I can run two Mag 12 instead of one Mag 24.

                              The mag 24 is slightly taller and has both 1" MPT and FMPT.
                              By increasing the diameter of the return will not cause it to flow harder but you can increase the psi by reducing the return line and playing with the diameter on the drains.
                              I do not recommend this as it will be a headache and hydro calcs are involved
                              unless you know hydraulics, then by all means have fun
                              I have a mag 24 and just recently helped a friend to upgrade his 18 to a 24
                              The noise from the 24 is a bit rowdy but that could be the vibration
                              adding a mesh or some type of mat that is fish safe for the mag 24 to sit on would prob be ideal for noise reduction
                              only concern is if you have the mag 24 plumbed with pvc and not tubing you need to cut pipe accordingly
                              hence why i went all tubing on my build with my mag 24
                              so easy to maintain and the mat i found came from the dollar store
