I'm looking for recommendations on a submersible water pump for water changes. I need one stout enough to pump water from the basement to the main floor. I bought one from Sicce and it's not cutting it.
 
Hygger, cheap(<100$) and powerful. At 9ft head height it filled 25 gallons in about 3 mins. That's the 4k model. The bigger 5k, is stupid powerful.
 
This is what I use to pump from my basement brute containers up the stairs and to all tanks on the first floor. Probably 25ft of run to the tanks plus the height of the steps. I use it for salt and rodi for ato containers. I just rinse it when I'm done pumping salt. Been using it for over a year. Coupled with a $10 remote controlled outlet it works great.

I’d be looking for a peristaltic pump if you plan on awc.
Im not really looking into awc. I'm just wanting a easier way to transfer water. 3 shoulder surgeries make carring buckets a challenge at times.

Ok, that makes sense. :)
 
I just fill my basement sump with new water and the return pump does the work to the DT.
