I am looking for a basement pump that can push 10-12 feet with at least 700 gph. Would prefer inline external pump. Haven't ruled out submersible yet if its wattage is reasonable. Any advice is appreciated. If you are selling something please PM me.

Thank you
 
If you use large enough pipe (read 1.5" minimum) and have few fittings, you could get away with a blueline HD55, GenX Mak4, Panworld 150PS, or Iwaki 55RT. A Sequence pump is probably overkill if you only want 700gph-ish. Too much head for a snapper/dart, and the hammerhead would way overshoot 700gph

I'ev been using a blueline 55 for similar head and flow for a couple of years and I've been very happy with it. Quiet, reliable, easy to clean.

I also picked up a used genx 40 that I have yet to try. I've read reviews that they are a bit noisier, but they use a lot less electricity for similar flow at similar head loss as my blueline.
 
From what I read that eventually they will work with a controller for speed switching. Not that it matters. Ever have any starting issues with yours?
