WTB high head water pump

PL-Reef · 06/24/2007, 06:20 AM

I'm looking for a pump strong enough to pump up from my basement to the first floor. Let me know if you have any thing that will work.

Freed · 06/24/2007, 06:37 AM

Is this a continuous flow type of setup or just for top off or what? How many feet vertically? Desired GPH?

PL-Reef · 06/24/2007, 06:45 AM

this will be for my return from sump. i would like to be in the 600gph to 1200gph range after 14' .

Freed · 06/24/2007, 06:48 AM

Mag 18 would probably be strong enough. You will have to check though.

PL-Reef · 06/24/2007, 07:00 AM

Thanks but I'm not a fan of mag drive pump they run too hot and have heard of too many people having issues with them. Thank you anyway.

I still have that pan world 200ps ;-) Should be right in your target range....

PL-Reef · 06/24/2007, 07:20 AM

sent you a PM geek.

pecan2phat · 06/24/2007, 08:26 AM

PL,
Based on this chart, you would end up with about 1380 gph with a pw200. But the pump draws 290 watts!

PL-Reef · 06/24/2007, 08:31 AM

1380 gph with out me adding any 90* elbows. so it should be alright. the power consumption sucks though.
thanks

just waiting to here back from Fiziksgeek.

Holy bleep!! 290watts!!!!!! 24/7

I bet that's at zero head too. Add 15' of head pressure and ooops...there goes the watt draw.

Jas hook a watt meter up to it when done. Curious what it reads.

Mrs. PL-Reef · 06/24/2007, 04:15 PM

LOL and I thought our $300/month electric bill was bad! Oh boy...

hans1976 · 06/24/2007, 04:25 PM

+2!

Iwaki 55RLT = 780 gph
Iwaki 70 RLT = 1200 gph.

Recommend using a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" return pipe diameter.
