selling quiet1 16,000 (4232 GPH) Submersible
 

pond/aquarium submersible pump. 1.5" in and out... producing 4,232 GHP

Installed on my tank and found out it was WAY to powerful for my overflow system (need to rework) so I've decided to go a different route. Only used for 5 seconds while it emptied my sump. Will throw in my 1.5" threaded adaptor and "T"

Retails for over $700....My loss your gain $350 obo

Rather than selling why don't you throttle down on the input of the pump? Or recycle part of the dischage back into your pump? Sounds like a great pump

never throttle back the input. you should only throttle back the output.

don't want to throttle output unless you have a pressure safety valve

Throttling back the input will cause damage to the pump. I've always been told to throttle the output

Yes you might end up cavitating the pump but how would you like water flowing at 4000 gph on your floor. Sorry. Didn't mean to hijack the thread just trying to help the man not lose his investment so fast.

What's the make/model of the pump?

Yeah...Im thinking of going a different route...so I just wanna get rid of it

Bump...New price $350

Hate to jump in and add to the cross chatter (sort of a no-no), but, I have to have to add my $0.02. The best explanation I once heard is that "pumps push, they don't suck." Throttling the output is the same as having a higher return pipe (more head pressure). You don't need a safety release valve because the schedule-40 piping is rated to a much higher pressure than what the pump is outputting. Throttling the input will eventually damage the pump, whereas throttling the output is not only OK, the pump will consume less electricity because it's not turning as fast. Anyhow, that said, we shouldn't be discussing this in a buy/sell thread, if there's more to be said, let's start a new thread in the main forum, and leave this for selling the pump. Good luck with the sale!
