I picked up a JBJ A.T.O. yesterday. I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on what pump I should use to run this. The pump needs to be able to lift the water roughly 3.5 feet. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I also don't want to buy a piece of junk. Also, I have to be able to pick this up locally as I am leaving town for xmas, and need to have this running when I leave. Thanks for the help

An Aqua-Lifter pump can only go to a head height of 30".


A Maxi-Jet or a small Mag Drive should do you pretty good. A friend of mine uses a Maxi 1200 with that ATO. His storage tank was on one side of a bedroom with the display on the other. Worked just fine.

I also use an mj 1200. Those ATOs make noise when they are on which makes a faster pump better for less of the noise. Mine will stay on for 5 to 10 seconds.
