Is it cool to run these things for 18hrs one time?Im filling my 120 and 55gal sump today:headbang2: and at this rate this could take a little while,the pump I have is the Aquatec 8800.seems to be good quality and very powerful,Ive dialed it in with a ball valve so Ive got 50 psi going to the filter,will this damage the pump?using a ball valve for a flow restrictor
 
well everything is running sweet!I have 3 inches of water in the tank and its only been 4hrs!The pump is running pretty cool so thats all good.Seems Ive answered my own question.Thanks for all the input!
 
As you've seen, it shouldn't be an issue. Just never, ever run one dry for very long. They get extremely hot and may give out on you after that.
