ATO Pump

[PaulM]

My aqua lifter pump is not cutting it for my ATO setup. I have the R/O water in the basement and the sump is on the 1st floor. Any pump recommendations?

How many feet between floors?

I was thinking u may want to check with Roger on the Tunze forum to see if the Osmolator can handle it...

Metering pump capacity: 2.95ft: 13.74gph, 4.92ft: 12.42gph, 6.56ft: 7.13h, Hmax: 7.22ft

you've got the awesome lights - may as well splurge on the ato...

I just bought a JBJ ATO IM guessing a pump that can do 10' would work.

the product says:

Q: How large of a pump can I plug into the A.T.O.?
A: The A.T.O. receptacle will handle pumps up to 2amp capacity.

perhaps you could ask the manufacturer for suggestions?

That a great device since you can plug anything you want into it. Now you jsut have to find the pump that is going to work for you.

MAXIJET 1200 might make it up there (Slowly), since you aren't worried about flow, since you are just refiling. MAG 5
