I’m looking to trade for a large quiet return pump 2000 GPH or higher. It can be internal or external. I have several large protein skimmer or whatever equipment you’re looking for to trade. Even the current pump I have, MAG 24 which is too loud for me. Please let me know if you have anything. Thanks
:BUMP)ANY ONE?
I looked at the specs and costs of pumps over 2000 gph, and they seem pretty high. most high flow pumps are also high head, for high water fall situations with pump heads up to 20 feet . thats a lot of wasted watts and amps. Have you considered using two 1000 gph pumps in tandem instead? like maybe a pair of Quiet on 4000s or maybe a 1000 GPH and a 1400 GPH pump in parralell . ? they might use less watts and amps in long term operation and save money, plus maybe cost less too?
you could even raise the sump in the garage a foot or two to decrease the return head pressure and increase the flow rate a little. you could trade for a pump or two. Hmmm your mag 24 would sure not be too noisy for a big koi pond.
Could that work for you?
Eh?
I don’t have much room in the pump compartment/sump for 2 pumps. That would be a good idea to do though. The pump would only pump up to 5 feet. So it does lose a little flow, that’s why I’m looking for high head pumps.
I did find several DC pumps that are cost effective that I’m looking at with high flow and low power consumption. But I just want to see if anyone has anything they want to get rid of.
Nope no Koi pond for me. I would, but low on funds. LOL
