Hey all. So I built an RO/DI & Saltwater mixing station in my garage. (One 30 gallon brute can for freshwater and One for mixing saltwater). I have a Magdive 5 between the two and it does a great job moving water between tanks and filling buckets in the garage. BUT when I connect a 25ft hose and run it up an 8ft flight of stairs into my house to put water directly into my tank it just comes out a little tiny trickle. This pump definitely isn't cutting it for pumping water into my house. Wondering what would be a good, no frills replacement pump with 3/4" and/or 1" inputs and outputs on it that can pump water up into my house.

Thanks
