First stop i have to find a suitable pump to power my manifold cannot be too strong also not insufficient flow else it wont be able to run my FRs, Chiller and the turn over rate from display to sump will not be ideal.

Hence i decided to go for this pump

[Zac]

It is a DC pump with speed adjustable using a controller that comes with the pump. Max wattage at max speed is 85w only.

Well this will serve my purpose i will be able to run it at the desirable speed i want to suit my manifold

Also this pump kicks off with a soft start and is amazingly silent you wont even notice that it is running

[sunny03]

for the waveline are you using it external or internal, cos i heard that you need the change the o ring if for external use. cos i am thinking of changing my pump to this is... can you help me check if our regular grey threaded piping able to fit into the outlet or inlet?

Thanks just need to know if our threaded piping able to fit nicely to it ... just like ehiem we can replace the original with threaded join

Performance is superd! 10000L/2640G/hour (as stated on the box) power consumption only 85w at max speed. it is extremely quiet as well. simply love the soft start when the pump is turned on.

bro check for you already Pump DC5000 and DC 10000 can be run externally without having to change O ring for the new batches.
