does it say how much power it uses
I Just installed a performance pro the standard room fan 30"x30" portable makes more noise then the 12,000 gph which has a Baldor water pump arguably the finest in commercial water pumps. Most people don't realize there's two parts the motor and the pump.
The above is made by Sequence and has a better price point, the confusing part is that in the pdf file on it has both 18 month and 3 year warranty listed.
I am leaning towards a Sequence 4000 -3600gph but the Sequence 750-4200gph draws less power and has close to the same output at 10' head pressure. Not sure how much more head pressure a bog can require, that is why I am favoring the 4000 with 21' of max head.
The price is better on the Quiet Drive
It's not the bog so much that is creating the head pressure it's how many elbows in the design of the plumbing what type of elbows are the 90's sweep 90's are they 45's or are they 4 -22.5's it's the length of the pipe and most importantly is how high are you pumping the water above the water level of your pond's water level. more then likely your looking at the lesser draw being the pump operating at 750gph and not when the same pump is at 4200 gph
