Any oponions would be great,experianced oponions would be real great!
Here's the deal/question I was talking to my local distributer about pump prices and etc.. today,told him what I thought I needed and he said I was "out of my mind":confused: and proceeded to tell me.
1.) Pumps like I wanted would need to run on 240 volt (vs.standard) , so I'd have to rewire my basement again
2.) In a large tank or large multiple tanks with a large volume, you only need to turn the water 2 times per hour
Anyone find that 2x's an hour a little( or lot) low?
I went in looking for (what I think? I need) a pump to run 9 - 90's through a central filter,so I was looking for something that would do like 8,500 - 10,000 G.P.H.
and he said only I needed to pump 1,500 - 1,700 g.p.h.
For the big tank - I'm still attempting to build close to 1,000 gallons I was looking for something around the same 8,500 - 10,000 per hour and he reccomended 1,500-1,700 g.p.h again and said with the evaporation that tank will have ,to run a fresh water drip into my sump to add 20-40 gallons per day and it would be either "just right or over kill"
I was thinking "ok this guys just nuts" but a salesmen trying to save a customer money isn't a common thing
so I figured I'd check into it a little more
Does anyone think 2X's per hour is low? Or am I just over thinking these bigger tanks?
Like I said any thoughts or input would be great.I'd rather over think or over plan this now then end up with a mess or non-functioning system later.
