Forget the initial purchase price of the pump; just get one which has the

power is going to ride over the next three years.
I use submersible solids handling pumps by Oase; don't want the additional
work of cleaning pre filters they are also amongst the lowest on power
consumption to output.

Roddy,

I was looking at those as I'm in the market also. The GPH for the
wattage looks great, but I'm concerned that they don't have the power
to pump 25' (1 1/2" flex pvc) from the skimmer to the waterfall
(Biofalls filter type) and have anything left over for the waterfall.
What say you about that?

Dave
