figure out the exact feet of head you will need to compensate for and then select the right pump for the job, I would use a japanese motor iwaki pump, unless you want to spend big coin and get into RK2 or the like... how many gph do you need and what is the ft/ head???

i have had a good time using mak 4, and in a shop setting, it is excellent... i guess i need about 1000 gph, with 6-8 feet head... i am thinking of using 2 genx mak4

I just made a recomendation on what I would use, I thought mabey he forgot about iwaki pumps, he never mentioned any concerns of price so I thought I would recomend the best pump for the application, Ive used and serviced both brands of pump and would never buy a mak4 or any mak pump again, I look at pumps like tires on a car, they hold the power of life in the palm of their hand, I pick quieter extended life. Just my personal prefrence, more expensive? yes, worth it? yes.
In my eyes....

Little Giants last for years. Ive had 3, never had a problem. But they are also more than $200. Bought them all second hand.
