Right pump for circulation in water storage container

Dundermifflin · 12/29/2014, 10:32 AM

Is a Maxi-Jet 1200 strong enough to provide the proper circulation in a 50 gallon storage container? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

you mean just to keep it from becoming stagnant? i would think so, doesn't take much. put it on the bottom and point it at a 45 degree angle so that you get some surface movement but not excessive, while pulling water downward.

Thanks. Yes, just so it doesn't get stagnant.
