I recently replaced 2 submerged sedra 12000 pumps that were powering my overflow with 1 Iwaki Magnate pump.
The Sedra pumps each max out at 1200 gal/ hr. Whereas the Iwaki max at 35.6 /min.
I replaced the submerged pumps for 2 reasons.
1. Create more space in my sump.
2. To reduce heat they generate inside the sump.
This is my problem.....
Now that the new external pump is on and running, my chiller comes on app. every 15 min.and takes about 10 minutes to cool back down to 79'. The other pumps would take about 3-4 hours to heat the water to 81' and about a 1/2 hour to cool it down to 79' My chiller is 1/2 hp.
I think I made a mistake replacing the pumps. Also, I bought the Iwaki used. Can someone recommend a better set up/pump?
Thanks.
