New pump

[crister13]

I am going to get a new pump as mine is pretty weak(not sure gph but its not strong) so I wanted to get one. Should I get a 2100gph or 3200 gph? I dont know what my overflows are rated for its a standard 150. Do you know what theyre rated for? Also, since there are 2 boxes, I use the splitter thing for my pump. Will it fit on these? Are these good? 1st is the 2100 2nd is the 3200.

Also, is it better to have higher flow through my sump? Will everything work better?

I have no idea on their external pumps, but I have used one of their submersibles (mag-drive 5 or 7) for years with no issues. I would suggest adding a gate or ball valve on the pump output in case you overdrive you overflows. If I had to guess, I'd bet they're in the 500gph to 750gph range.

ONLY 500GPH? REALLY????? So the 2100 gph wouldnt work? I would clean the overflows to make sure there was no algae and enough water could get through. I thought they were alot more than that. Thanks!

The recommended flow rate thru a sump is 5-10x your systems total volume of water.
