Tiger Flex PVC 1-1/2" whats best when...

Yeap that's a big pump. Check the flow charts in your manual to see what kind of watt draw you'll be getting. You probably don't want to use something like that if it's going to use close to 300W 24-7 (~$20/month) and only push around 1500gph. You could consider a Reeflo Dart which is about the same flow rate but half the power consumption. Could be quieter too, pondmaster or mag pumps are usually pretty noisy and I've never seen one in person over 2400gph rating.

Sigh, just when you think bigger is better.

Just check the manual, if you're ok with the power consumption and noise level you have nothing to worry about. Over the years I've just become pretty anal about power consumption and noise, especially on parts that operate 24-7.

Thank you for your help!
