    a 1" drain can flow about 600-700 GPH so a mag 7would workgreat.

    I have an Amricle I got for about $60 and I have a Mag 7 return pump. Works great and worth every penny!

    Yes, I am not having any trouble with my Amiracle....I just broke on of the nylon screws....but that was my dumb fault. I thought for the price difference...that mine didn't have some feature or something.....

    Malachi, there is a thread on a DIY Weir overflow box somewhere....I don't know if it would be any less expensive tho...

    Thanks, to much work. Bending with heat guns does not sound fun.

    That is a good deal, i did watch e-bay but they were all for higher flows. I ended up getting the CPR 90 with the Aqua Lifter Pump. Seams to work really well, at least when you got the pump hooked up right. I just got this one because i had to order a few other items from Marine Depot.

    Cpr Cs90

    I just bought the CPR CS90. Would anyone let me know how they have their's set up? For example, what adaptor did you fit onto the bulkhead? I was looking at a female adaptor but wasn't sure if that was correct. Someone please let me know their success in plumbing this product. Thanks;D
