WTB/trade for high head rate Return pump, plumbing parts

Brad Black · 05/14/2008, 08:43 AM

I need:
a return pump that will push water 15 feet vertically, desired output of 1000 gph at the 15 foot high mark. This will need to push water from a basement sump up to the first floor, then up to the returns (another 4-5 feet or so) to the display.

Also need:
various plumbing parts, PVC runs, bulkheads, connectors, elbows, ball valves, 45's, unions, etc. Need a grab bag of parts.

Can buy or provide trades for. PM or reply. Thanks.

If you want to get your PVC parts i would suggest Savko.com .They have everything you might need and are fast at getting it to you. I ordered 90% of my PVC from them, the rest i have been grabbing at HD as needed.

With 15' of head you'll probably need something like a Reeflo Hammerhead or Barracuda. Here is the head/flow/wattage draw graphs on the 2.
