There are pool pumps but I question your need that much circulation.

IMO, return pumps should be sized for the minimum flow needed to feed fresh water to the skimmer, fuge and various other sump contraptions.


There are a few reasons:

1) Return flow is extremely expensive. For the GPH your are expending a lot in heat, pump cost and electricity costs

2) Safety, in the case of a power outage, the higher the flow rate, the more sump capacity you will need to contain the leak down and if you think you can count on a check valve, I have a bridge to sell you. Great price too!
