Re: Too much?

I don't think your sump is gonna handle that, don't forget, doesn't your skimmer drain into your sump too?

if its too much you tweek it down with a valve...your not going to have this option with a Dart. The good thing about these pumps is the more head you put on em the less watts they use...the main consideration here is the Baldor motor, which the Dart doesn't use. I've been working with pumps and motor on a much bigger scale for 25 years. About 3 years ago MDM\Sequence brought these motors into the picture. That's a HUGE plus..
