I think thats what tangster means, like that you have more water in the pipe causing more force pushing down. Tangster correct me if wrong.
Thats it more water equals more head pressure and less static drag you get to use head pressure in your favor.. (: And that allows about a 30% increase in volume on drainage But won't work on the pressure side . Gravity sucks and the more it has to work with more it will suck up to a point..

Thanks! Once I get the ceilings done in the basement it will look a lot better. Getting ready to step up from my Ocean Motion (super squirt) 4-way that handles 2,500gph to a standard 4-way that will handle 7,500 pgh and beef up how much water I am flowing. Still looking for a good pump though.
Just plan it out on paper before you start and it will help a bunch.

I just went and seen him about 2 weeks ago and seen the pump. Waiting on him to shoot me a price. Thanks for the heads up.
