    well we are moving so my basement sump isn't going to happen.  which means my 1600gph overflow isn't going to be able to handle 3800gph pump  so looking to trade for something that will be more suitable around the 1500gph or so range, internal or external.  let me know what you got 
    oh my dolphin is an Ampmaster3000  it is used i bought it used and have not even fired it up.

    I have that panworld 1200gph pump sitting around someplace in a box, if you need that. Don;t really need the beefy pump you have but if you want to trade at least you will get some use out of mine. Let me tack on some pics,,, [​IMG]

    It is an NH150PS model pump, forgot to add that. Looking at the specs it is actually 1100gph, not 1200 as I said before.

    Hey Snowman put a good ball valve on it and choke down the flow it works great thats what I did.Its easier to turn the valve and adjust your flow than to have not enough by down sizing.jmo.

    The only downside with throttling back that much is the wasted energy but it does leave you the option of using it to it's full potential later.

    yeah and i have thought about using a couple SCWD's with it too or multiple loc-lines so that will reduce it quite a bit too. so i guess i dont really need to get rid of it, anyone else ignore this post i'm a moron :)
