What pump will I need?

[mike31154]

I didn't think the friction loss on horizontal runs is all that much provided there aren't too many fittings? Just guessing tho, since I haven't run the numbers thru the head loss calculator.

My planned basement sump will be almost directly under the display so probably also around 11 to 12 feet of vertical head. I've purchased a nearly new Panworld NH-150PS & also a previously owned but new looking Poseidon PS4 to move the water. Panworld is a pressure biased pump & will be used in the warmer months while I'd like to use the Poseidon in the winter since I understand they add heat to the water. Although the Poseidon is flow biased rather than for high head pressure applications, I've seen a few threads with folks using them for basement sumps. The Panworld is comparable to Iwaki & Blueline. I think the Poseidon was also sold under the Velocity brand name. Poseidon PS3 is similar to PS4 but pressure biased. By the looks of the flow charts, the loss at the head pressure for both models is close to the same. Will be less than the Panworld, but still ok I think.

Look at the Reeflo pumps, expensive but in my opinion worth every penny when it comes to high head pressure systems.

I'm about 12' horizontal, 10' vertical, 1.5" line

Started with a March 6 series (a big noisy beast, would of had no problem with the 60'), switched to Iwaki MD70 (great pump, no seals, easy 2000gph) now using a Barracuda (little quieter and a little less current draw than the Iwaki). Still in the box is a Velocity T4 (same as PS4, told they're silent, concern is flow will be around 800gph).

Had also considered a Dart. Was trading e-mails will Reeflo and they figured a Dart with a modified impeller I could probably get 1000gph.

So I'm leaning towards a Snapper/Dart Hybrid, what do yo guys think? and the run will probably only come out to about 40ft or so.

friendly bunch at Reeflo, I'd e-mail your layout (pipe size, vertical/horizontal run lengths, number/types of fitting etc) and see what they think for max flow.

+1 for great reeflo service, they sent me new bearings/seals because i emailed and asked what oil to use on the seals, and i even told them i got the pump second hand.

So I emailed them and they suggested the new blow hole BH1450. Has anyone tried this pump? and where can a guy find one?

Thanks
