Need a pump to transfer Water to DT

[Jr'sReef]

Tried looking through the forum but no real answers to my question. I have a RODI and mixing station in my garage and need a recommendation on a pump to pump both RODI and saltwater to my tank approx 75 ft away. I was using a small transfer pump and a garden hose but recently discovered it may be adding unwanted metals to the tank.
I want to hear what you all recommend or are using. I would like to use 1/2 pvc if possible from the tanks —> pump —> garden hose —> Display tank. as that’s how it’s currently setup but willing and open to hearing other ideas.
Please recommend a pump budget friendly is even better lol
Thanks in advance

I use a 1/3 hp pump from Harbor Freight. Works great.
Just be sure to remove it from either tyoer of water container after each use as the can rust otherwise

No one else with a recommendation?

@ndrwater how is it holding up? Any signs of rust?

If the pump is only a transfer pump, I'd look into one of the bigger mag pumps.
Maybe a 12 or 18.
A few years ago I needed to transfer a bunch of water around so I got a drinking water safe hose and cut the metal fittings off of it and used plastic fittings.

Holding up well. Actually on my 2nd one in 5 years. The original was just losing it's "oomph" and was showing signs of rust so I swapped it out.
I pull the pump out if the water after using it as to reduce the corrosion salt water will eventually cause.
For the price of the pump, this has been a great solution for me. I would recommend it. I would also recommend not leaving the pump in the water ling term..

Eheim CompactON range. AC pump, pretty much bulletproof. 1/2” piping is a bit skinny for me, will make the pump work harder, 1” is going to give you more longevity.
