I'm in the process of plumbing a basement sump and I've done a lot of looking around for a decent return pump.
Key things I'm looking for are:
- Energy Effiecent
- At Least 11ft of Head Pressure
- More GPH the better
- Not too expensive
I've narrowed my selection down to:
REEFLO BLOWHOLE BH1100

$174.99
WATER BLASTER HY 7000

$249.99
RLSS Controllable Waveline DC 10000 Pump

$329.00 + 20.00 shipping
I really like the Waveline DC due to it's efficiency and being not much more than the waterblaster hy 7000 you get a lot more GPH. The only thing is the Coravue Waterblaster comes with a 3 year warranty vs only 1 year for the Waveline DC. The blowhole is energy efficient too but external only.
So what do you guys think? I've had a look at all different types of pumps and these three seem to be the most energy efficient of all of them - or am I missing some? Really don't want to spend more than $350.00 on a return pump as there is other stuff I would like to budget for and buy for the whole setup.
