Which sicce for 180

[Wildreefs]

Which sicce return pump for 180? Sump is directly underneath tank. So call it 5 feet vertical . 3 90 degree elbows.

Thanks

Take 180, and multiply it by a value between 3 and 10 (Turnover rate), 540 and 1800 respectively.
Find a Sicce pump that provides a minimum of 540gph and/or can reach up to 1800gph at 5 feet head height.
You can compensate for any 90's by bumping the pump up a notch.

There are many charts you can find on Sicce's website which will provide you with a graph that depicts flow @ height across each model.

You can then decide if you want an AC or DC controllable and base your features off of what models are available from the algorithm above.

Thanks. I am well aware of turnover rate etc. just the sicce chart is very hard to pinpoint height and gph, and was hoping for a real world look at what’s practical what’s not

Looking at this chart for syncra silent's, the 5.0 is going to put you right in the middle which gives you some nice wiggle room too @ roughly 1056 gph. This will put you right around 5x to compensate for the 90's.

Other, more powerful options would be the Syncra Adv 7, or the Sdc 7 respectively. That will put you at 1300+ @ 1.5 meters on the left.
