Basement to 1st Floor Pump for Water Change Selection

[richfavinger]

I’m looking for pump selections to do water changes from basement RO/DI holding to the first floor of my home… So, it doesn’t needed to be mega fast. I need to go 7’ up to a 90-elbow then another 90-elbow across about 9’ (basement ceiling) then a 90 up through the floor, maybe 12-18†to sump or tank / overflow box?… - Trying to stay in the 3/4†to 1†pipe range.

Looking at Pan World 100PX, 790gph and has ahas a max head of 21’ on 3/4â€

This pump would only be used about every 2 weeks for water changes, and controlled by an Apex.

On the flip side… I was planning on using two pumps. A smaller one that would run almost non-stop on the salt mixing barrel and the large pump (above) to do the water change… I considered using just one pump and valves, but I think the two pump solution would just work better? (Looking at 100g / 28x45 polys).

Nothing?

Most would use a powerhead to keep in the barrel to mix the salt up, or keep the water in motion.
Then using the Panworld for the DT WC. The one you choose should do the trick.

You are probably only looking at 10-12' total head so many pumps will fit the bill depending on the flow rate you want. I would look at the 12' headloss point on several pump curves and find the one that suits your needs at a reasonable cost. Since it will only be used intermittently it does not have to be top of the line and super energy efficient.
