Need three large pumps

[Anonymous]

Who is the brand to go with these days for long-lasting heavy duty pumps?

I need to be able to empty a 44 gallon trashcan of RO water into several large chambers many times a week.

Thanks!

Eheim was recommended to me as a workhorse for my skimmer.

I had good luck with the Dolphin Pond pumps.

I've used sequence for big external pumps. Might be overkill for what you want though.

Iwaki's are damn good pumps.

Panworlds too. But for cheap, Mags work.

This is going topside!

Iwaki's were what I was thinking of. For some reason I kept getting confused and thinking they were called Iwasaki's but those are the MH lights.

I forgot, they all need to be submersible.

Are Rio pumps okay?

rio pumps are okay. Just okay Get a supreme mag drive, a 7 will prolly do, but a 9 will work faster. If you are just moving water around, you don't need to shell out more money for an Iwaki. Those are for the serious jobs

I'm a big fan of Eheims. I've got two 1262's on my tank, and I use another to mix salt water in a 20 gallon trash can.

Eheims are very nice with a solid history. Mag drives are a bit less money and also are decent work horses.

I have used mag drives for years, love'em.
