which pump?


Which pump should I use? We are going to be hard plumbing my water mixing bucket so I'll just have to push a button to re-fill my tank, but we can't decide on a pump. Here are my 2 options looking at about 20 ft of head, but don't need a lot of flow. They both are about the same price, use about the same amount of power, and produce the same gph. So all these factors aside, which is a better pump?

I voted for the velocity only because Geoff always speaks highly of them

at 20ft head pressure, that T1 will flow around 300GPH, the T3 will flow around 500GPH
the MAK4 seems to flow also around 500GPH at 20ft


just FYI
