High head pump suggestion

skr791346 · Jan 17, 2020

I wanted to move my water change vat to the cellar but the display is on the 4th floor. I was thinking of running a 3/4” pipe to pump new SW up for water changes.

Concern is that the head height will be about 50’. What are my options for an external pump that can handle the height?

An Iwaki 70RZ will do about 7.5 gpm (450 gph) at 50' through 3/4" pipe. That's probably one of the only options without getting into serious industrial stuff.
