aqua 8 pump
« on: June 23, 2005, 06:11:20 pm »
my old whale submersable pump on my trolley system gave up on me today so i went to the local caravan shop and brought a
aqua 8 pump (non submersable)
there seems to be a big difference in the pressure which i'm pleased with, but how long will it last i wonder?
is anybody else using one?

GRAFTERS:I understand the whale pump [submers] can only acheive up to 3 metres vertical [about19 squid]

what height can a aqua 8 acheive vertical? and how much do they cost?

also what diam pipe do you use 10mm is the diam for whale pumps is that adequate?
