Just wondering what Water pump do you use for your sump? i am looking for a submersable sump pump for my 55 gallon sump.. and ive used a few brands but many have failed. i need some opinions!
I have used Mag Drives in the past, and they have done well, had some that worked for over 2 decades 24/7, but they can be noisy (hum and vibration), and can be energy hogs. They are easy to get replacement parts for if something goes wrong.
Lately I have started to use Laguna's, they have done well for about 2 years, are fairly quiet, and easy on the energy bill. I also like the cage that the pump sits in, while not easily plugged, it prevents small stones from entering the volute which could damage the pump. The cage is large, and needs a large enough sump (min. 12" wide), and space between bottom of the tank, and top of sump to maneuver for maintenance.
Below is a Laguna in its cage
