Any recommendations for a sump pump that can push 1600 GPH at 5 feet? Or any two pumps that can push 800 GPH at 5 feet?

I really like the Eheim pumps but it doesn't look like they have one that is strong enough. Magdrive makes the Magdrive 12 that can handle this (I'd be getting 2 of them if I went this route).

Do you have any other recommendations for GOOD/GREAT quality pumps that can handle this output?

Thanks!

I've been gone from this hobby for a few years and I have never heard of those brands, glad I asked before I purchased.

That Jebao dc 9000 looks almost spot on at 5ft and at only 70w that's crazy. The Magdrives would have been eating up 210w. Anyone else have experience with this pump? Are these reliable pumps?

I'd go with a dc12000. FWIW I'm probably getting around 1800 gph out of mine at 6ft head max power.

You can always turn these dc pumps down via the controller.

As far as reliability, I have 4 jebao dc pumps running almost 2 years on the longest running pump and I've only had 1 failure. I never pulled it apart to see why. These are so cheap I just keep 1 available for a backup.

Waveline DC 10000 II or DC 12000 should be more than enough. I prefer higher rating so that you don't have to run at full throttle all the time. These are relatively quiet pumps given others that I've heard. I believe the Jebao are based on these - so those would be good alternatives too. Whatever you decide, I'd recommend DC pumps just to be able to control flow.
