Anyone used a Reeflo commercial pump?

For sure! I'll definitely be updating my build thread with them once I get my hands on them, plus I'll probably need some guidance on plumbing. In addition to the main system I'm going to have at least a few other tanks plumbed in. I bought way too much from this closing store.
I researched them a year ago. They are high head pumps and real power hogs. I would sell them and get a hammerhead.
That is something I've been seeing, looks like they use in the range of 1200-1500 watts which is a bit excessive. That said to flow 5000+ gph like I am going to need I am probably going to pushing that in pumps regardless. Especially if I put a smaller tank upstairs like I want to do.
I just looked up Hammerhead power useage, looks like about 355W, so a huge amount less. That said I would need two of them to put out the flow I am going to need. $900 in pumps will be a lot more than I can sell these for. I'm going to have to do a bit of research, especially once I know for sure what model these pumps are.

I'm not of any DC pumps that handle any significant head with any high volume. Nothing that comes at all close to a hammerhead. I think the highest volume pump that isn't direct drive with any efficiency are the Laguna MaxFlo.
