ato

[reefwreck]

want to set up a remote ato have rodi in a small out building and run into a 20 gal container then to sump which would be about 15 to 20 feet with about 2ft rise at the end what would be good pump to pump water to sump

What size system are you talking about? Need that info to make a better suggestion. Off the top of my head, I would recommend a maxi-jet. again the size pump would be dictated also by the size system...

15 to 20 feet with a 2 foot rise. I recconend a Toms Aqualifter. 15.00 Buy a couple of rebuild kits 6.00 and rebuild it every 6 months...

No woreies. Below is the specs

Ps mine sat a foot above a 55 gl barrel then over 12 feet...

unique design lifts water with its diaphragm and flappers – pumping water up to 30” high and at a flow rate of 3½ gallons per hour. Ideal for use as a dosing pump for Kalkwasser, auto top offs, calcium reactors and other aquarium uses.

Check out the newest spectrapure ATO it can easily do that distance and is reliable but also pricey
