Water change pump

gregzz4 · #1 04-12-2015, 06:56 PM

Just for an example, based on the calculator;
A mag7 looks like it could handle it and may take about 12 mins to pump 30g
A mag9 may take about 5 mins

Buy a used pump cheap ?
Keep in mind the smaller the pump the shorter the lifespan.

Hopefully you'll get some other suggestions for a cheap pump that needs to run 10' through 1" vinyl hose

I ran a Laguna pond pump and had great success with it. 14' of head was no issue. I still have it on my mixing station. The pump that never dies

It's the power jet 2800. I bought 4 years ago at least.

I'm sure a used Mag9 or Mag12 would suit well for much less money
