Water Blaster Return Pumps?

[AussieCrazy22]

I'm looking for a return pump system , that would do my aquarium it's a 265 gallon system was thinking about using this water blaster 16k water pump, anyone using these return pumps? I know it probably doesn't have the push as a Reeflo but long term from what I hear these don't have leak issues like Reeflo does, my only con is I would use this for both my returns, then buy a additional one to run my reactors and all, bio pellets . I'm a 1x pump manifold guy so just curious on this pump thanks.

I use a HY-10000 to push water up one level from the basement. It handles the 2 returns on a 180g fine and enough left over for another plumbed in 100g that is above the sump. I don't require or want a lot of flow. As it is running now, the drain will clog a 7"x16" 100 micron sock in 3 days. Been running for a little over 3 years without a problem.
I chose this over a DC pump because I prefer to run the pumps external and with DC pumps, most do not recommend even though they say external or internal application.
