what do people think about this pump for a 45 gal DT. It will be the return pump from the sump 3.5" to 4" below the DT

I guess that is what i was looking for, I am also trying to find out about the quality of the pump. I have had a few people telling me to use a mag 9.5 so i guess that is a good one. I am just hoping the pump is not a piece of crap that i will have to replace in 2 months

I use a quiet one pump and like it. I have never had or know any on with a dolphin pump so I have no idea about quality. if I was to get a used pump I would want to see it run in a loop so I could see it pump and test the head they say it will pump 500+ at 10' so it should empty a 5 gal bucket quick at 10'. And how much noise it makes some pumps will run you out of the house.
