I own both the King-160 (PETCO Power Head) and King-225 (PETCO Power Head) models. They are designed mainly for water circulation, but I find them very adaptable for other uses. Both the input and output have standard threaded sockets, which allows you to replace the standard barbs with all sorts of nylon attachments for different size hoses.
The King-160 is slower, naturally. I needed to buy it after finding the 225 was pumping water into my preparation tank faster than my faucet could keep up (meaning I’d have to unplug it and allow the sink to refill).
You may want to consider removing the suction cups. These are very quiet pumps until stuck to the side of the glass, which amplifies the noise somewhat.
