Can you do it? Does it work well?? I was thinking of using the 1200 for an external return pump with high head. I want to keep the heat out of the water but can the sedra handle being run external?

thanks

Most Sedra pumpos can be used internal or external. You will not notice any difference in heat though since submersible pumps have water jackets inside the motors to cool them with aquarium water. They will produce the same heat either way. I run most of my pumps submerged just because they are quieter that way and I have the room to do so..

Thanks......that makes sense. I want to avoid a chiller so it seems like a GEN-X MAK 4 would be a better option in this case then.
