Title: Return Pump Suggestions
Post by: xiaan on March 18, 2011, 10:01:57 PM
I am currently looking a moving to a new house and I am planning my new system most of the equipment will most likely be reusable but I will not have to pump up my water to the first floor from the basement. My current system is using a Sequence Reeflo Wahoo 1,762GPH @ 250W I am looking for something around the same GPH but less energy and very silent. also I would like an external pump for better servicing. The tank will be around 200G + 80G sump

I have looked into some of my options:

ReeFlo Snapper 2400GPH 95W
Poseidon Velocity T4 1275 GPH
Octopus Water Blaster HY-7000W = 1769GPH / 88W
Red Dragon 6.5 m3 1717 gph
Mag 18 1800gph

anyone had any experienced with these or any other ones I have overlooked.

The posiedon T4 is dead silent. Literally you have to touch it to know that its on. At 15 feet of head that I'm at the flow isn't great. If your only going up a few feet it should provide you decent flow.

It runs a little hot. Keep that in mind...
