Any powerhead or pump will work and a hose (ie. new garden hose) dedicated to water changes. Obviously the bigger the faster.
I do 40G water changes using a 44G Brute can and old Hagen 802 powerhead to mix the water and pump old water to the bathtub and then new water from the Brute into the tank. Takes about 34-40 minutes.
Currently looking for a large CHEAP submersible pump (eg. Mag 12 or 18, Eheim 1262) to make the process faster.

You can pump your old water to your bathtub with the Hagen 802? What is the head rate for that pump? How far is it from your tank to tub? And how thick is the tube/hose you use? Is it vinyl tubing...1/2 inch inside diameter? Ideally that is what I'd like to do....the bathroom is about 20 25ft from the tank.
