I do not want to start a religious war, but, "What can I expect as far as longevity/reliability of a submersible pump in an aeration tank?"
My "water system guy" says his experience is, they burn out every year or two.
The usage is a house with 3 occupants & a swimming pool in S Florida. Light usage except when I need to add water to the pool.
Bonus questions;
1) How will the life expectancy & reliability compare to a jet pump?
2) Does anyone have experience with this Hallmark Pump? Hallmark Industries MA0414X-7A.
The specs I like on the pump include a flow rate of ~13 gpm @155' head (or 65 PSI).
3) Is there any convenient way to convert it to a bottom feed pump? Or should I mount it horizontally?
4) I notice some of the Aerator MFRs use a "septic system" type bottom feed pump like the Franklin Electric 20XC1-05P4-2W115 to power their pressure tank. When I called Franklin, they said that pump isn't certified for potable water. If I went that route, sould I be concerned? If so about what?
