Pump Help

[holabird]

I have a 210 rr with the overflows in the two back corners. My sump is going to be in the basement made out of a 55 gallon tank. I will need to pump the water about 14 feet up back to the main tank. Can someone tell me what the flow rate will be out of my tank and what kind of a pump I will need to get the water back up that high? Thanks for your help.

That's a lot of head pressure what size Is your drain 1.5?

MRC is a sponsor. It is Saturday so you may not get an answer until Monday, but ask them. They have 2 great lines of pumps for external use (blueline and reeflo) and will happily help you make the right decision. You should get responses back from users this weekend on their pressure rated reeflo pumps. I know someone that had a return pump die after (a week short of) 10 years and instead of going with the same pump they went with the reeflo dart. They ARE that nice

Yep, both drains are 1.5". It is possible to raise the sump about 4 feet to help out but still need a pretty potent pump.
