A closed loop has no head, just friction loss from pipe diameter. There are quite a few big pumps put there, the Dolphin seems to get decent reviews but I have never seen one in person.

Yeah I get the head issue just estimated 4' due to all the valves, elbows, lockline nozzles, and frictions loss. Either way just looking for options in the ballpark flow.

I currently have the super dart gold....going to the hy 16000 would be a similar pump. I have the hy 7000 for my return. They are great pumps.
