I am in the market to do a return pump upgrade. There are a couple of reasons for this.
The main reason is that I want/need to push more water through my return. I currently have a RLSS Waveline DC-6000 2nd generation DC pump which is rated for up to 1500 GPH (a number I am not sure I trust). The pump was originally bought in may of last year but has only been running for little over a year. The fact that it already is rusting is not a good sign. I also need more flow as the original idea was to feed reactors and a remote fuge with it too. I had to skip the reactors as there was no way there would be enough flow for that and also get a decent turnover from the DT. I am feeding the fuge at the moment with it but would like more water going through it that what I currently have.
I would like to stay with a DC pump if possible as I like to lack of sound and the control I can have over it as well as the power savings.
I am not that familiar with the pump market in this segment so please help me out. Thanks!
- Want more flow than my current return
- Current return pump have started to show signs of rust after just over a year of use
- Current pump constantly get stalled due to the impeller fusing with the ceramic parts and won't turn regardless of how often I clean it.
