    i am looking at this GENX Submersible GX2400 to run my SWCD externally because in looking at my CAP 1200 set up it looks life trash and takes up a lotta in-tank realestate

    does any one have this pump or a similar one and have a product review

    also i am trying to find out the inlet and outlet specs and a manufacturer's's WS

    info from jason at PA

    [glow=purple,2,300]Here is more info for you
    GX2400

    Gen-X submersible pump (Sorry sold out till May)

    635 GPH
    7.5ft maxmum lift
    UL approved
    Ceramic shaft, adjustable flow.
    1 year guarantee against manufacturer defects.
    1/2",3/4"" ID Hose fittings for return included
    PSI rating 3.41
    Flow rate at 3' Head 450gph
    Flow rate at 5' Head 265gph
    Power Consumption 40 Watts


    The fittings come with the pump for hose connections. We really like the
    external GENX pumps, but the submersible are not the same quality. They work
    very nice for circulation only in the tank, but we have found that if you
    put any pressure on them, they slow down really fast. So i wouldn't
    recommend them for pumping higher then 3 feet or similar pressure
    application and i would not recommend them external, i think they would
    leak.

    The manfuacture website is at: http://pacificcoastimports.com Now there
    external pumps are very reliable heavy duty pumps, rarely have any problems
    with those, so we would highly recommend those and also there Chillers are
    excellent. If you are needing a more pressure pump and want a submersible, i
    would recommend SEN700 by Won Brothers.

    thanks
