pump help

[tdragon]

i was wondering if ne one who has a big tank has ever used of thought of useing a sprinkler pump. i can get a sprinkler pump that does about 4000 gal/hr for about $50 +shipping just wondering. if ne 1 has used them how did they work. the one im looking at is in line so it would keep heat out of the water. it would b going on a 360gal tank

I would be concerned about 2 things (And depending on the pump it may not matter)
1. Is it made to be run continuously? Most sprinkler systems don't run 24 hours a day every day so it may not hold up to the demands
2. Does it have metal touching the water, if so it may corrode as it isn't designed for saltwater.
I'm not saying it cant work just some things to look at for the particular pump you are thinking about.
