Anyone got a recommendation for a pump which will deal with a 3 to 4 foot lift on a bong cooler? I need spray! Right now all I'm getting is dribble.
This (http://www.marinedepot.com/a_ph__index.asp?CartId=) place has some nice pumps at good prices. If you look under Supreme Mag-Drive (danner) there is a flow rate chart that shows the GPH at different hights. Does anyone know if the flow rate of the Mag Drive 1.9 and 2 are correct at 4-6 feet? The chart shows that my 200 gph pump is better from 4-6 feet than the 250 gph pump. Could this be correct?
I'd just be guessing without a flowmeter. It is keeping my system temps nice though. I'm pumping about 5-6 feet, and the pump's in the middle of that height.
Danner pumps are rated at no head. A Mag 5 or Mag 7 will do the job. Of the two, I would pick the Mag 7. I had no problems with it and a 69" bong cooler. If you want to spend the bucks, go for the big Eheim.
