see if i run a 70 then i could tee off a little flow for the return for the tank. Then take the mag 12 off too. see what gets me is the 70pcx is 1535gph 300W 100pcx is 1590gph 380W snapper is 98 w 2500gph but how much flow will I use if I have the snapper on and will the seals last on the pump and will the beckett actually work good. pumping the water up 62"

I'd try out one of the Reeflo pressure-rated pumps as somebody mentioned. The snapper may have proven to be a good needlewheel/venturi pump but that's a whole different ballgame. The Iwaki-based pumps are tried and true for becketts but they are real energy hogs and aren't exactly very quiet.

I don't think the snapper will work in that application.
