for my basement sump, Reeflo had offered me a Dart with a modified impeller, they figured would be good for about 1000gph. Ended up with a Barracuda.

To use a smaller pump you can also consider lifting the sump closer to the basement ceiling to reduce the head pressure, I have less than 7 feet difference between my display level and basement sump level.

In regards to the utility pump agree with others, they are for short duty cycles and use more power, sometimes up to twice as much which can add up to close to $100 per year so your savings won't last long.

Here you go, this should do the job nicely for less money than the Home Depot job which is totally unsuitable for our application.

Why so much flow through the sump? Ever thought about running a high flow Closed loop sys on tank, then use a smaller, cheaper pump to add the Sump loop.
