Default Waterfall Pump

That's exactly what I want. Pump to falls only. I will use another pump
for my filtering. Wouldn't the increased volume of water (in weight) in the
pipes negatively effect the flow on a 4 foot head?

If you use 2" piping to the falls, your resistance will be less and your
pump will be more effective, despite the 1 1/4 exit.

I would like to get a new waterfall pump (PowerJet WG 10,000... 137

watts
@
2900 GPH). It seems to be a pretty energy efficient pump for the flow.

It
has an 1 1/4" discharge. My question is that should I use an 1 1/4"

pipe
from the discharge or actually use a 2" pipe, as maybe this would be

more
efficient for the pump.
