I saw this Grundfos pump on sale for 71USD, that's cheaper than an Eheim 1250 here in Denmark.

It's a Grundfos circulation pump called the UPS 25-40, I saw this thread and this might be the european (220-230 volt) version of that one...

It's made of iron and it does 3m3/hour... that's 3000 liter per hour or 792.5 GPH!!!
It has three speeds though so I should be able to lower that...
it can lift water 4 meters, the ad also says something about 1-4 meters column of water, I don't know what that means.
The pump has 3/4" or 1" connections..

This 1350kb. PDF is very interesting and informative but it's in Danish so I guess only Scandinavians will understand it...

I ripped a picture from the Danish PDF on Grundfos site (couldn't find it on the American site), and translated some of the Danish to English (some wasn't translated, see the notes below the picture), it shows the pumps performance, dimensions, connections and so on.

* Indbygningslængde, perhaps it has something to do with internal fittings, I'm actually not sure...

** Koldtvandsudførsel, is the removal, or taking out, of cold water... hmm. dunno...

Oh, and the words unioner and ventiler (see the "connection"-part) means unions (?) and valves...

Is there any reason I shouldn't buy this pump?
