Good catch!!! I'm going to hang my head in shame... You are correct. For some reason I was thinking roughly 3 feet per meter but then looked at the 3 meter mark instead of the 5 meter mark. :oops:
lol! ok cool, just thought i was going crazy(er). :D

When I look at the waveline 12000 flow chart i'm only seeing about half that amount at 4.5 meters. o_O
I posted a link not to long ago showing the Waveline does 33% less than the stated value.

Hold on guys , got some news.
@Brew12 , @d2mini , @jason2459 ,@gcarroll ,
How about I told you about a pump that has 25ft head pressure, 2500gph, 90watts
can be run internal or external, comes with a 5 year warranty and comes in either AC or DC and is UL and CSA listed?
Would this work?

Just a little bad news!
They are not available just yet, but they have arrived in the US.
Shipments should start soon though.

The top one are DC and lower one are AC.
If you look at the AC 9.0 it's slightly more efficient than the DC , as it should be.
In regards to the specs. there is one update.
The head pressure on the all pumps have been increased. As you can see the 9.0 is @15 ft it should be @ 25 ft.
I think this may be worth the wait.

I'd be very curious to see that actual pump curve!

Their service reps were highly responsive when I had a problem. Just a single data point.

Interzoo is not until May.
Hope we don't have to wait that long. :(
Not from what I have been told.
I did send an email to Sicce Italy and US in regards to a flow curve . Just waiting for response. I'll keep you posted if I get a reply.
