Sequence Uno pumps

Would these work for driving a beckett skimmer?

Come on. Doesn't anybody know the answer?

How about if I give a link? http://www.mdminc.com/Uno%20Series.htm

Looks like a new series that are a pressure rated which is what you need for a beckett. I didn't notice whether or not they have the seals required for use on saltwater but I know that sequence usually offers them if needed (at a higher cost).

Any idea on prices for these pumps?

I've found $300-400, depending on where and which. I've been looking at the wahoo, which is the lowest rated and it's around $320.

You can get the Iwaki MD70 or PanWorld 200PS cheaper than that and they are rated near the same. Any reason you want to go with the Sequence over the others that are probably just as reliable?

Yep, he's right, it looks like it's drawing almost 300 watts to push around 1600-1700 gph. Probably pretty comparable to a big iwaki or pan world, and the pressure curve doesn't look quite as good. But, it's definitely the best curve I've seen for a sequence pump to be used on a beckett skimmer; too bad it's not as power efficient as the other sequence pumps. This pump or the big iwaki (70rlt, 100rlt) would be appropriate for a big beckett skimmer with 2 injectors and 5 gallons or so of tube volume.
