LF Pump to pump water up 1 floor - Ideas??
I am looking to place my sump downstairs and pump the water upto my main tank up one floor. Does anyone have a set-up like this or know of a good pump to do this with? Tired of carrying water up stairs all the time.
Your suggestions would be appreciated. Pnutjr

Panworld makes reasonably priced, good quality pressure rated pumps. I purchased a nearly new Panworld NH-150PS for a basement sump I have planned for my system. This pump will push water well over 20 ft. If I read the performance graph correctly it should provide in the neighbourhood of 700 gph at 10 ft of head pressure. Since it's pressure rated and designed for high head applications, the performance curve drops off fairly slowly as head pressure increases.

quiet 1 4000 High Head might do it economically...
The number one issue I founf in my research when i was looking to do this same thing is noise from vibration in the wall and resonating through it to different parts of the house... My house is 60 years old, well built but poorly insulated by todays standards. so this really made me decide to just run sperate systems.

I helped set this sump up for a friend. We used a Reeflo Barracuda as the return pump to send water up to the next floor where her tank is.

Where is the "going upstairs part". It looks like it is just looping back into the tank? Maybe I just missed something...

The return curves under the refugium light to the far wall where it goes up through a hole in the floor to the tank. She put the light in, I just did the stand and plumbing.
