Dart isn't pressure rated. Blueling HD's are low wattage and much quieter than Iwaki. Pretty cheap too... cheaper than Sequence. Champion carries them also. Check them out.

blueline hd's there highest flow on the site is 1750 gph and they want $249 bucks for it :arg:

how much flow are you looking for? Is this for a return pump? Or do you have a DIY scheme up your sleeve?
If you think the blueline pumps are expensive, you don't want to see the pressure rated Sequence pumps.

Why do you need a pressure rated pump for returns? Are you planning penductors?

there are 2 seperate returns and both will have penductors :biggrin:

also i might make a manifold for another 2-4 returns...

T,

I went this route and think the pressure rated pumps that throw alot of water are overrated - you have seen my tank, right? Well my return is a 1100 gph Genx PCX-55 - DUDE, this thing purs like a kitten - you don't even know it's running.

Quite honestly, this is a great pump for the price. This one T's off to an OM 4 way and into 2 penductors. I say this is your best foot forward - especially since you have seio's and tunze's for internal flow.

One mistake I made when initially setting up my system was to have all the flow running through the return - well, when the power went out, so did all my flow.

Now, I have a UPS on my tunze and a battery back up on my Eco Tech Vortech so that if I am in dowtown, my system will hold without everything dying - when I get home, I fire up the generator and plug the pumps into the generator.

FWIW.
