Question on 800/2 Turbelle Powerhead

[AJO]

Hi, would you recomed the Tunze 800/2 Turbelle Powerhead as a return pump for 38 gal. tank with sump? Water will be pumped 42" high. If not what pump should I use?

Thank you,
AJO

I would consider the new 1073.020 which should be available in a few weeks. I think at that heigth you would get about 200-250gph with it. Would be easier to use for this application, should be extremely quite and is very energy efficent

Thanks shawnz28, I will wait for the new 1073.020 to be available. It will be no problem waiting a few week as I still have to get sump built.
