![]() Hi,
I'm looking for a high head pump ( 16ft) with 1 1/2 pipe with low power consumption and a good flow at the high head height. Currently Im running a Jaebo DC12000 and the flow is lower than I would like. Thoughts? |

How much flow do you need at 16'? Look at the Barracuda/Hammerhead and Yellowtail. |

![]() Also are you looking for an internal or external pump? I ran a Hammerhead for a while on mine (14' of head). I switched to internal using a DC powered (Waveline) pump I too was disappointed in it's performance. It was no where near what is advertised.
I now run a Laguna pond pump. I'm still running my original pump I bought nearly 5 years ago... |

![]() Well if you have the money....you could always get a vectra L1, or a red dragon.
Aside from that, you'd have to look at external options like a reeflo or a panworld.

![]() Im running inin-sump pump. I have tried the L1 and it wasn't much more real-life flow than the Jaebo. I'm pretty sure the modded off the shell tank I use for my sump is tempered glass, so I can't drill for an external pump.
I used the Danner Pondmaster 6000 for a while,m and it provided the flow I wanted, however the stainless impeller warped and destroyed the pump. |
