[QUOTE="Windar, post: 598124, member: 18667"] Hi All After some feedback and advice please. This is only for VIC or home use. I'm trying to get my head around the pump for running a high banker. Options I can see 1) Use a genny and the 240V dirty water pump i have for home use 2) bilge pump and battery system For Option 2 going to ~3000GPH for an 8inch sluice I can A) buy a single 3000GPH bilge pump using 18amps B) buy three 11000GPH bilge pump using 3 x 3 = 9amps Pros for B Lower cost for pump? Lower Amp hours and therefore more running time out of a battery Cons for B More tubing to carry Less head pressure and distance water can be pumped? Even Weight for one or three pumps appears about the same Here is my question - what are the other cons i may be missing with B please Thanks for your response [/QUOTE]
