Vectra L1 DC (3100 GPH) or Hammerhead/Barracuda Hybrid - 6000/4590GPH

[Spiderman097]

Hey Everyone,
Need a new pump for my build. The tank is going to be on the first floor, and the plumbing is going to be in the basement. The water will have to travel 15 feet horizontal and 15 feet vertical.


Hammerhead/Barracuda Hybrid - 6000/4590GPH (Reeflo)
$414.99
Vectra L1 DC (3100 GPH) - Ecotech Marine
$449.00

I'm thinking the reeflo, but the ecotech pump has been reviewed as insanely quiet

There have been some complaints of the Vectras overheating. It's probably just a small percentage, but still there. They we also not controllable with an Apex.

If Apex control wasn't a concern, I'd likely go L1.

check out the suntail or yellowtail from reeflo. designed for basement sumps...

 

[Spiderman097]

SunTail is perfect for me! Do other manufacturers have a similar basement pump line?

For that much head I would stick with reeflo.

Yea, I bought the suntail; and I have absolutely no regrets
