ATO Pump. Frustrated.

Conor_K · 04/12/2019, 09:10 PM

Of all the simple things to drive you nuts...

I just put a mixiing station in my basement. (Not quite done, but the Ro/Di side is full.)

I had the avast diaphram pump running nicely prior to this with a 8 gallon jug next to the tank, but when I flipped to the station ~8’ lower, it got very noisy and intermitent.

So I swapped that out tonight for the avast persitalic pump. It’s silent, but barely moving any water...
Maybe it needs to break in, we’ll see by the morning.

Barring that, any reccomendations for a simple, quiet ato pump that can hand 8-10ft of head easily?

Avast only does 20ml/min..
Its pretty slow..

There are numerous regular pumps that would work depending on your budget and desired flowrate

Hit me Mac. The peristalic def isn’t going to cut it.

Let’s say under $200 and north of 200ml/min.

Mm. Don’t need all that with the profilux, but maybe one of thier stand alone pumps would work.

Are these relatively quiet?
