View Full Version : Which Pump? 300 gal tank, sump in basement

I am looking to push water out of a basement sump.

15 feet of head. Goal about 2000 - 3000 gph for a 300 gallon tank. I would like the option of penductors, so a pump that can handle some additional head would be good.

I am looking at the Reeflo line, but open to other suggestions.

Could do one pump, or two (one for each return). I favor two pumps for safety should one pump fail.

I am looking at two of the Reeflo Marlins. They seem built to handle pressure... but I don't recall seeing any posts for folks using them.

Thanks!

Ryan.

I am running a reeflo orca which I will gravity feed. Flow will split off to a fuge and remote dump resevoir as well. So, I am thinking I shoud shoot for 1000 gph as minimum, 2000 gph as plenty of flow, and 3000 gph through the sump absolute max.
