Anyone using uno series for basement sump?

summer6 · 03/04/2007, 02:37 PM

Have heard good things about the Sequence pumps.
When looking on the Sequence site it shows (with graphs) how the various pumps fair when pumping against head pressure.
It seems that the reeflow pumps (barracuda, hammerhead) are great with GPH, but significantly decrease with head pressure. Is that because they are not "pressure rated" pumps, and are built for flow?
The uno series (marlin, wahoo) are pressure rated, and pump very well against greater head loss, but not with the flow of the reef flow series.
I would seem to think that the uno series would be better for a basement sump set-up.
Anyone with experience/knowledge please help.
Thanks.

How much total water volume do you move with the Blueline pump, and what is the GPH with you head pressure?
The wattage usage looks great on the pump.
