ATO pump

[boboxx]

Hello,

I'm looking for a small pump to use on my ATO, something that has a lift of 10' and a 10' horizontal as my freshwater container is in the basement.

I would like to have a fairly low flow.

Anyone has something they could recommend?

Thanks

I would look into a mag pump I don't think that any maxi jet is going to be able to travel that distance

this page has a head chart for all the mag pumps

autotopoff.com has a pump that says good for 17' of head....

Just know that neither of those options are low flow. For low flow you'll need a dosing/paristaltic type pump. Those are generally much more expensive.

said he was doing 10ft verticle & 10ft horizontial......

i'd do the mag7 @ 12ft verticle & then have the 10ft of horizontial assisted by gravity (it never fails LOL)...that 12ft of head on the mag7 shows to be 20gph. i'd consider that "low flow"

....of course this is assuming the horizontial is the last leg. otherwise the mag7 won't work for this rise/run combo
