So the head pressure requirements appear to be less than I thought. Due to the split level nature of my house, I incorrectly added the height above the sump to the floor of the room above to the height of the tank. This gave me what I thought would be about 16-17' of head pressure. In fact I forgot that my master bedroom above is actually on a level three feet higher than the level of the tank in the foyer so I really "only" have 13-14' of head pressure. Seems like a small difference, but with pumps it is huge.
Also, I was toying with the idea of putting that sump up on a stand to reduce the head pressure 24" more, make it easier to work inside it, and to give me some more storage underneath.
What do you think?
