![]() Yeah 2200 is conservative, the hammerhead for example uses a 1/3HP motor but realistically runs closer to 1/2HP.
Even if power wasn't a concern finding a pump head approved for aquarium use, especially saltwater, will be extremely difficult and the cost involved will be far beyond what you would pay for a pump that was actually made for the job and uses a fraction of the power. Reeflo also has a high pressure pump (tigershark): http://www.marinedepot.com/ReeFlo_Hi...WPEPOH-vi.html Pumps up to 84' using a max of 1065W. You may also be able to find a panworld pump that can go up that high but your options are limited when it comes to pumping over 25'. Last edited by sphelps; 01-19-2012 at 06:39 PM. |

![]() I have been looking at purpose built pumps, just figured I would weigh out my options. The reeflo has a pretty steep slope after 50'. Im thinking it will make more sense to just make a man closet in the other end of the basement. It will be much less hassle than running 40' of lateral pipe on top of the vertical parts too.
