looking for suggesion on a good pump for basement

[ifarmer]

hi,

I am looking to run my sump out from the basement soon. I am looking for recommendation on an external pump that can carry that water up 11-12 feet vertical up and water output at the nozzle is around 300-400 gph.
what is a good pump to buy? Most likely I am looking for an external pump this time.

thanks

I use a Reeflo Hammerhead Gold, super quiet and super efficient. A Hammerhead may be too big for your goal but definitely look into their line. A Super Dart or Barracuda might work for your needs.

+1 on the hammerhead gold!

I will research about the hammerhead gold pump
in the meantime, do you think these would also work?
reeflo blow holes bh1000?
iwaki wmd 40rlt?
thanks

Stay far away from the reeflo blowhole. I went through 3 in a 3 month span and finally changed the pump to the barracuda. I know of 2 others that had the same expierence as me. And when they do fail the pump gets so hot it could possibly start a fire. Mine got so hot and I didn't realize it when I went to go look at it I scolded my hand

thank you for the head up on the reeflo blowhole. No wonder why there are not that many review out there.
thanks

The Sequence line of pumps are all reliable and quiet. The mentioned Barracuda would be way too much unless your using a manifold to power other equipment. I've been using Darts for many years pumping up from my basement.

I also use a reeflo gold for about the same height
