How well does this work for a sump return pump with 3 foot return length, 75 gal display and 20 gal sump? Thanks in advance!

Sorry can't really help as my setup is small - 30lit tank. I use my Maxi-Jet inside the tank to filter my tank water. It's not the best setup but after spending Au$100+ I'm determined to use the pump for something.

It will work but I recommend more flow than that. Look into the catalina 3000-4000.

Works well for a sump pump but not sure how it would work for a well. Not sure the lengths of the sensor leads would be appropriate for that purpose.

I am using two for sump pumps. Be sure to use a check valve if you're lifting the water very much or it will back flow when it turns off causing it to keep cycling.

20 feet should not be a problem we possibly have a 30 feet right now and I have no issues with it the pump works great

I've been running it in a 65 gal marine talk with a 10 gal refugium. I placed in the sump area of the refugium. It worked fine for me in a building that is climate controlled around 74-75 degrees. I found mine to be miscalibrated around 2.5 degrees, though, so you may want to consider an alternate thermometer if you have sensitive stock.

It should work fine, depending on your bioload or amount and type of "pooduction". I used this on my 55g and it did well. It can be a pain to dial in, but it starts producing skimmate almost immediately. I had a hard time with it when I turned off my return pump for feeding an maintenence. It would take a few moments to dial back in and the increased water volume in the sump due to some backfill from the tank until my syphon break stopped it, could cause the collection cup to overflow. All in all 3/5 stars. Decent skimmer for the money.

I don't know if it's a good idea or not. In an earlier question I posted a link that can calculate the run time based on the wattage drawn by the device. I would check that. It might work but there might be much cheaper options for a sump pump.

I bought this pump for an 18x3.5 above ground pool and it worked well. I also had an Intex Salt chlorine generator. Flow was awesome. Hope this helps...

it is hard to say with out seeing what you are useing it for . on a sump pump you tie wrap it to the pipe or pump so it will hang down as the water rises the float will turn up and the pump will start and lower the water level

Hi Rolf...not too sure of your question, but when i had it we used it for our septic tank (in the caribbean)...it was okay...the sceptic was about 5-6 feet deep. Honestly it was a bit sometimish (as in sometimes that ball thing wouldn't activate the pump). we got a new one recently for another part of home....We live near a lagoon and its filled land so when the tide is high sometimes the water backs up...the one we got is the Red Lion Rl-SC50V 1/2 HP Cast Iron Sump Pump with Vertical Switch. its available on amazon...highly recommended. it has a much better activator switch (im sorry im not into the correct technical jargon)...hope this helps...but the pump you're asking about was still pretty good Hi Rolf...not too sure of your question, but when i had it we used it for our septic tank (in the caribbean)...it was okay...the sceptic was about 5-6 feet deep.

I have no idea. I installed the pump this summer - am very happy but the flow of water in to the sump has been minimal. This spring should be a good test Sorry very happy with the pump though.

Unable to find documentation on pump; you will have to look; I know I had seen the specs before, some where My application is sucking straight out of a tank into a main floor of a cabin... it works great

Yes, that will work. Be mindful that you don't try to run it through 3/4 for more than a few feet though. It's a great little pump!

I had a Baqua Pure pump from the same place and replaced it with pump in question and works great. Mine was for a 24' above ground pool. Hope this will help you.

I have a pump that pushes out 2500 gph for my pond. I also have another pump pushing out 4000 gph on a different filter for a waterfall and river. I was having some clarity issues with just the larger pump so I bought the TetraPond 26596 and within 1 week the 3000 gallon pond was crystal clear. I am extremely happy with the results. Good luck to you, I know you will not be disappointed.

It depends on the flow rate you need. If you have a 750 GPH overflow (or 900 in my case) this pump will work fine. If you require more, you'll want to go larger. Typically, a general rule of thumb is 10 GPM/gallon (i.e. 1000 GPM for a 100 gal tank) but its up to you and depends on how much overall flow you want/need in the tank.

I actually have this hanging on the back of a 20L right now. It's my quarantine tank. Doesn't take up a ton of room. Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the length of the back. Make sure you get a good pump to pump through it. You don't need much volume (90gph is plenty), but the brand I bought is just about dead after only a year of use.
