That's a really cheap pump. But you only need it once. This guy holds his air.

Honestly its not the best pump. It is low suction so it might work for you but the pump dies within a year. I've gone through 2.

You need 7 inches to fit. It is a squeeze at 6 inches. Btw, go on Amazon or local Hdepot and purchase the smallest fountian pump. It will improve performance 100%.

I don't have any experience with the pump referred. Only used it for my phone and electronics. Seems to work for this application.

The company makes 3 models, the more expensive ones can be programmed longer. See here, Pro Series is same company: http://www.sumppumpsdirect.com/pumps/vertical-float-switches.html Also see the company's brochure on the 3 models: http://www.stopflooding.com/proseries/pdfs/Brochure%20PHCC%20Switches,%20Sensors,%20Controllers%201807046%203-2012.pdf I was looking today since I may buy the most basic model for my backup pump

I have the same question, this pump cost a little more than the Max-Flo and w/o a timer. But I guess mainly, is it a better pump?

The pump is set at 75psi. A tank with 100psi is a good option. More important is the size of the tank, 2gal, 4gal, 6gal, etc, depending on the consumption of water to avoid continuous running of the pump. Important to know, is that whenever this pump fails when out of warranty, simply throw it away since no spares are available.

I have had two and both worked well. Is it compatible with the model pump that you are using? Are you sure it is plugged in properly?

I've only used this pump once so far, but the reviews say not quite 30". Maybe consider the 15500.

You can use any pump but I purchased this one and love it: Beckett Large Fountain Pump, 400 GPH. It really pushes the water and so far has been extremely dependable.

I have a 100 gal tank and it works great for me. The pump is great. With any of these pumps if you have to high of demand it's not the pumps fault if it can't keep up. I would purchase another if I needed one tomorrow. It's a good pump.

R. Heffron the pump I used was the Tom Pump for $15 . The pump works great and is inexpensive. The truth of the matter is the JBJ ATO is truly garbage. It has a manufacturers defect and fails constantly within an hour of use its already failing to come on...I found out on a reef column that you must BREAK the saudered connection between the timer and the JBJ brain for it to stop interrupting it from working...so in essence you must break an absolute new product you paid full price for, so it can work...it's garbage but I made it work because I had no choice. I advise you to use the "TUNZEE OSMOLATOR ATO SYSYEM " it's awesome and fail safe with a sensor type set up. .U can still use the TOM pump as your dosing pump....good luck R. HEFFRON I hope my insight will help you. Don't buy the JBJ ATO for $50 more you buy a tested good quality product in the TUNZEE ATO SYSTEM

It doesn't say in any of my literature. Suggest www.dannermfg.com I just know it's a great pump. This is my second one and the first one lasted 2 years longer than the warranty.

No problem, I use it as a pool cover pump and sometimes I have it running dry all day. It's a GREAT PUMP. Just be careful of the plastic pipe parts. I buy extra plastic parts online.

I use an inexpensive electric pump similar to the one linked below. I think mine's a Coleman. Any electric pump should work, if it has multiple nozzle sizes/types.Coleman 12-Volt DC QuickPump, Colors May Vary
