Need A Water Pump! Help Me

[johnnycomposure]

Hello.
Basically when it comes to cleaning out my gravel etc I am sucking out the dirt with a siphon and the water pours down into a bucket about 1.3 meters from where it is been siphoned from. Now I would like to get myself another pump that I can place in the bucket that will push the water back up 1.3 meters to return to the aquarium at good pace (so to match the rate the water is being siphoned (if you follow)

Any ideas what litre ph I would need to do this?

Ive been looking at this too. I was thinking about using a headlight washer pump from a car, They have a high flow rate, I tried one and it moved 14 litres of water in about 25 seconds

Have a read, water pumps normally have specs telling you the maximum height they can pump to...I think 1.4m is about middle of the road...a NewJet NJ800 Multi Pump for example is rated at 800lph and handles 1.5m height...


Hope that helps
