hey guys need info on return pumps....

[Tonyscoots84]

i was thinking on ordering one of the different pumps listed below...

i just dont no which one is better then the rest...

-Gen X submersible GX4100 water pump

1085 GPH
9.2ft maximum lift
UL approved
Ceramic Shaft, adjustable flow
1 year guarantee against manufacturer defects.
PSI Rating 3.98
5/8" and 1" ID Hose fittings included.
750 gallons at 3' Head
650 gallons at 5' Head
Power Consumpion 70 Watts

-Gen X submersible GX6000 water pump

1587GPH
UL approved
Ceramic shaft, adjustable flow.
1 year guarantee against manufacturer defects.

5/8", 1" ID Hose fittings for return included.
PSI rating 6.40
1300 GPH at 3' Head
1000 GPH at 5' Head
Power Consumpion 130 Watts

both of these gen-x have adjustable flows which is a good thing. since i will be using a 600gph overflow..
i just dont no how reliable the gen-x pumps are..



-MagDrive 950gph Water Pump

115 Volt 60 Hz
93 Watts - 1.33 amps
14 Feet Shut Off
3/4 in/out threaded
950gph at zero feet
800gph at 4 feet
200gph at 12 feet
5" L x 3" W x 5.5 H (without sponge filter)


anyone of these will be used with a 600gph overflow and the return pipe i am going to put a ball valve to reduce flow when i want.. so if anyone thinks anyone of these is better or no a better submersible pump for a good price let me no.. i want it to handle as much as possible.. thanks...

[jackson6745]

I think 130. Do a search on RC Eheim has no complaints. Marrone has them running for many year with no problems.

Tony,
if this is gonna be your return pump the first two listed won't work with a single overflow box unless you dial them back. A mag 7 might be your best choice =\

even with a return pipe split off on a y at the top then extended and elbowed into 2 returns
