Want to replace my WLim Wave II 1/2 HP - Ideas?
Hi, so I don't recall how much head I have, but I do have a Sacramento Koi 15 bead filter, pump sits above water line and about 50' away from the waterfall and 30' away from the pond. I have the W Lim Wave II 1/2 HP pump, it works okay but I'm not getting the flow I would like in my waterfall, and I've really dialed down my TPRs to the point they probably aren't doing a whole lot. I have lost flow and not sure why, but I do believe I want a bigger pump but I want something energy efficient.
I was thinking about going with a 1 HP pump this time.
Here are the specs for mine:
7632 gph / 10.39 ft. head
5.8 Amps
630 Watts
I was thinking about another W Lim, like the HS Wave II, the Wave II, or Dragon, but also looked over the Elite Primer Pro and Pro 2, as well as the Performance Pro Artesian 2 high head.
I'm completely open to other ideas but 1/2 HP just isn't cutting it for me. What do you all use or wish you had if you could do over?
Lastly, I'm more concerned with running costs versus the cost of the pump.
Thanks!
