Default Pump to a head


"Marksfish" wrote in message
...
I am looking for some pumps which will circulate my systems. One system

is
about 200 gallons and the other system is about 120 gallons. The head

for
both systems is approximately 7' 8". The pumps need to be low wattage

(using
a hippo at the moment at 300w ph, ouch) and able to run these systems at

a
reasonable rate. Any ideas what I ant and where in the UK I can find

them?

I have since been looking at the Aqua Bee 2000/1 which is rated at 38w and
can pump to a head of 10'. Does anyone have any experience with these

pumps?

Cheers

Mark

Why do you need a pump with a 7' 8" head do you pump the water from a tank
on the floor to a tank/filtersystem 7' 8" high then the water returns by
gravity?
Im only curious that was all

Default Pump to a head

I'm using a big Ocean Runner (6500) - more output for less power for less
money than a Eheim. So far (12 months plus) no problem.
