[May&Bruce]

wow, such a large pump! getting an in-sump pump that size may be very difficult

[May&Bruce]

...is it possible to mount the pump under the tank, but above the sump? Then you could use a dry pump

hi bro, was thinking that a >10000lph pump may not be the most suitable as a return pump.

a cheaper pressure rated iwaki md-55 would likely give similar throughput after you factor in the head loss. (ht of tank, narrow piping, friction and elbows), therefore offering longer service life.

compare it to driving up a slope with 5th gear and a pressure rated pump is to driving up in 2nd or 3rd gear. which is faster and which engine will last longer?

just a suggestion, to help you save $$$.
