I am going to be upgrading my sump and moving it down stairs. Just wanted some recomendations on a good pump that will make a 15 foot rise and put out around 1000gph when it reaches the DT. It has to go through an in line chiller and up about 15 foot.

Thank You!

There are a lot of choices. I would personally shoot for the pump that provides the correct flow at the lowest possible power usage. You can see what the flow would be from many pumps using this calculator
