I would like to know which is a good external pump, small one. Something to move 1000~1500 GPH
I've seen some Sequence Dart but then again seems is manufactured or labeled by a different company.
I'm clueless when it comes to external pumps, Have a Little Giant (got it for free) and that's as much as I know
BTW the LG does not work, something is stuck.

Thx

Sequence aka Reeflo (new company name) pumps are great. They are about as low wattage, reliable and quiet of a pump you can purchase. The only downside, as with any good pump is they are not cheap. Check out the Reeflo Snapper. Its a slightly different impeller compared to the dart with lower wattage draw and less head pressure/GPH. Depending on your head pressure is might be in the perfect range for what you are looking for. I suspect the Dart will be to much flow for your 1000-15000gph need.

I´m having dreams for the future so might as well do some research on pumps (long distance future)

Keep an eye on on RC for a used snapper pump as they come up every so often. One thing to remember though with the Reeflo pumps is they are a 2" input and 1 1/2" output. To get the best flow with them you do need to have a a 2" bulkhead from your sump into them. If you restrict it down they will not be able to push as much water. If you go 1 1/2" they are still pretty good but nothing smaller. Good luck!
