Pump for 20 ft lift

Sequence pumps are external, and all can be retro fit with seals for
sal****er use. I just got a load of used but like new pumps of which
most were Sequence. These were all submerged in water after a storm
here and folks had their pump houses or vaults flooded, as well as
some that were merely exposed to lots ofrain. Ignorant homeowners that
di dnot know any better all claled local rip off pond and water garden
place here to come fix their outside koi and golkd fish ponds. Well
companies are not gonna repair anyhting so they just instalalednew
pumps and carried the others back to the shop and threw them in a pile
outside, and I got them all. LAst count was 11 Sequence pumps and a
bumch of other brands of pumps as well. I took em all apart, blew out
any water, cleaned off any rust onthe inside of the stator windings,
and allowed to air dry. I chjecked the bearings and if there wsa water
in them I replaced them, Bearings are dirt cheap, so now I have 11
Sequence pumps from the 750 up to the self primers all runing nice and
quiet as a churchmouse and do not have $50 in repairing them all and
they all work just fine and have been operartionally checked and run,
pumping water for at least a 24 hour period. I had to replace a
capacitor on one but happened to have a few of that size capacitor
anyhow. I also had a lot of the bearings I needed as well. Now I
intend to separate all the burial vaults I have ganged together with
flow thorugh filtration that I use to raise up godfish, koi and
catfish as well as some other tropical fish like cichlids in so that I
cancontrol each tank with a pump and filter individually. Life is
good when you dumpster dive! ;-) Oh I also found a bunch of other old
new unused stock like filter housings and media and weirs and water
fall forms that they threw out. Yea I know its all freshwater stuff
but it just goes to show how good Sequence pumps are and how reliable
and easy to repair them. I have 5 Sequence pumps that I have in
operation previously before this find that I bought new that has been
in use for close to 5 or more years and have never leaked a drop or
missed a beat, and run 24/7/365
