Any relatively High head/pressure submersible pumps

The Quiet One 4000HH is about all I know of.
Max head is like 13.5', 120w, 980gph max.
@6' is like 800gph
@10' is like 500gph

Syncra has a 3.5 (635gph max & only 42w) but at 10' is only like 300gph

Looking for similiar flow in the 10' range....450-700gph. I have about 5' of rise plus the pressure of the penductors.

Looking to use penductors on the sump returns possibly. Also prefer submersible for simple design & the heat will help my tank.

You really need a pressure pump, like an Iwaki / PanWorld, etc to run a penductor effectively.

Thats always what is said, and we truley don't have any "pressure pumps" for out hobby.
There are many externals in the 20+' head range which I know will work fine. A submersible pump of 12-15' head will work too.....I have seen eductors work with less Head pumps and perform exceptional. If i can take a pump with 700 gph at Head and add an eductor and only net 1200-1500+ gph...then that is a great $15 spent

I have seen similiar test of Blueline 40HD pumps testing to have a 3.5x's increase in water flow while only increasing velocity of 7% comparing a standard eblow output and enductor off an elbow.
The blueline is a 22' max head and at 10' has a flow of 600gph.

A pump swap if needed is always doable. But I'd imaginge 600gph from a 13-15' max head submersible would net me at leat 2-2.5x's volume increase.

Also gonna play around with adding 2 onto 2 of my 4 my CLS outputs and see what happens.

If it doesn't work, I am out very little. Hopefully my CLS powered 4300gph SUPER DART Gold will rock with 2 of them on their with the OM 4way!
