What a great thread!
The prices are better for fixed rate than they are for variable rate pumps. I also see some fixed rate double head pumps at 170gpd. I see the fixed rate double head Stenner at $290 (

Am I understanding correctly that a 170gpd pump is actually 85 gallons per head?
Is there any advantage or disadvantage to getting one with a higher rate over lower rates?
I may have missed this but can the Stenner sit 40 feet away from input tanks and still pull the liquid? I have a tank in the family room. There is a large closet behind the tank. My wife allows me to use some of the closet. Our garage is behind the large closet. Our laundry room is next to the closet. My thought is to have my fresh saltwater in the garage pulled by a Stenner in the closet and deposited into the tank. Also to pull old saltwater from the tank and to deposit it down the laundry room drain.
Are there connectors to make 90 bends in the tubing easier to manage?
Even without setting up a hands free water change I find it would make life simpler to use a double head Stenner to do a once a week manually started water change.
Thanks,
Bob
