Sump pump question

[PIZZA BILL]

First hello all I'M new to the site but have visited many times in thew past.
My question is about gph and a good pump to use, I currently have a 55 show my syphon over flow is rated at about 900gph my sump pump is a rio 3100. The problem is once i pump it through the chiller then back into the tank it drops off big time!, is there a pump out there that can provide more of a turnover than rio.The space is about 3.5 inchs wide in my sump that I am working with, any help would be thankful.

Second a mag drive would be my choise if you are going to go with a submersible. I would consider getting a dedicated pump for the chiller so you can drive it at what the manufacturere reccomends. If you insist on going with a single pump look at the mag 12 or 18. Put a valve on the discharge side so you can control the flow and not out pace the overflow.

That they do. It's how they make a living. We need to be informed and smart consumers.
