Favorite 5000 gph plus ENERGY EFFICENT pump

[nolapete]

Looking for energy efficient pumps for the 4300 that push 5000 gph or better. Which are your favorites and why?

Sequence Reeflo pumps are one of the best pumps made. They have great US made motors that are matched to efficient pumps. The Hammerhead pumps 5800 gph and uses 350 watts.

Agreed. Reeflo is the stuff.

I was doing some calculations and had already checked out the Hammerhead. To match the gpm John has on the 10K tank, it'll take me 4 Hammerheads. I'm going to start off with two, but have the filters plumbed to connect the other two in when I can get them. Thanks for confirming my choice

Any sources for Hammerheads that can beat $399 each?

 

[Pharaoh]

That sounds like a pretty decent price.

Best I've found so far. Some are pushing $500. What's the difference between Hammerhead and Hammerhead Gold?

gold looks to be a bit more efficient. Of course, there is a bit of loss with flow. This might be a good question for someone to ask Reeflo and hear what they have to say.
