ATO pump recommendation?

05f150fx4 · 01/08/2012, 10:21 AM

I am looking for a pump for my ATO to pump from my brute can in the basement to the tank on the first floor. About 12 ft vertical. What would be a good pump for this? I already have the 1/4 inch john guest tubing. Thanks!

I was looking at the BRS 50ml/min dosing pump. Would this work?

. it will work perfectly. i currently use it without an issue. However, make sure you are having the ATO set to max of 30 minutes as sometimes, the flow rate is not enough. I had problems running this with my JBJ ATO and had to reset it, but with profilux, i don't even have to bother about it as I let the max time at 30 minutes

I've been using Toms Aqualifter . It ha served well for the short time I have had it. The JBJ ATO is another story.
