YOu really do not need to make generalizationi statements such as
"Sequence are not made for high head applications" so evidently your
not really familiar with the entire line of Sequence
pumps..........Sequence makes a line of pumps that will pump up
against head with any other brands normally associated with pond
use.......Now if your going with their Value FLow or the 750 series
its the economy line of pumps.........and you get what you paya for in
regards to performanace and price.........
