WTB Big Pump

[steveo32]

Any one have a larger pump they want to get rid of ? I need it to run a 180 but it needs alot of power b/c all the head hieght it will have. The pump will be located in the basment and run up to the first floor at about 5 to 6 feet to the tank.

i got a hayward pump its like 7amps i think -=X saltwater and inlets outlets are 1 and 1/4 i believe i dunno how many gph hour but im sure u wont need powerheads in ur tank even if its pumpin up from ur basement -=) lol

i have an iwalki 70md rlt which is about 1 year old and was used for same type application.

 

[steveo32]

Daceman I already have that pump and was told and thought that it was too small for my application. I have about 30 feet of head hieght when all is said and done. thank you though

i took a pic but the battary died out before i could export the pic. Let me try to charge it for 30 mins and upload it. This thing is crazy though, it created tidal waves like a hurricane was coming in my friends 180g when he tried to use it. It was used in my old..old... setups, when it was running thru a couple oceanclear canisters and a hayward canister. i tried to look for specs previously but couldn't find nothing but its way to crazy for my app nows even on the 225g. Its good for fresh or salt but this things like a pool pump lols

 

[samster]

the inlet and outlets are actaully 1.5"

samster,

That is a pool pump.
Normally not usable for saltwater unless the seals have been changed out as in the Sequence line of pool pumps.

 

[samster]

:biggrin: it says saltwater on the label, the seals are fine and it was runnin salt not sure if my father ever changed them out but it is pretty diesel and thats what he was lookin for lol -=)

 

[pecan2phat]

My bad then

 

[samster]

all gravy, i mean the label does say pool pump Duh!? i shoulda seeEn it lols.

ohh yeah and i also have a DE canister that fits inline with it if neeeded.
good for stuffing carbon n crap.

 

[steveo32]

I think it might be too diesel for my app

 

[samster]

lols it prolly about 5000gph-6000gph? i would assume? but if ur pumpin up from basement it it might just be perfect with the head rate up? dependin on ur stand and ceiling height of ur basement if u would limit it from about 15ft it might just pump around 1500gph back to ur tank? if ur runnin that far i dunno up to u tho -=)

 

[steveo32]

Ok well I was over doing it on the head hieght its actually about 20 at the very very most but its more like 15' so I am now looking for a sequence hammer hear or Manta ray. Moderatly priced of course lol
