Default pump

I would only use the magnetic impeller pond pumps. Ebay has the price. What ever you need for head double that pump size to give your self better pressure. I use a 5500gph pump that lowes sells for 279 i think and ebay has it for 60 or so. I use the same pump for every thing that way i have a back up pump that drops right in if one ever fails and i have to say they have not and they run 24/7. plus the power draw is very little. i have 11.5 ft head and then i drop back down 1ft and use a 10ft long manifold 2" in diameter. I had a 1000gph i tried and it worked for 4 drip lines. now with 5500gph i could run any thing i want and as many as I could ever want and still have good pressure and volume. I'm loving that i can run hydro halos and i have to slow the water volume by at least half

Those stainless waterfall pumps that lowes and home depot sell last exactly 90 days on 24/7.
