I plan to lift the water about 36-48 inches. The only reason I want super slow flow is because the Hydor Smart ATO requires you to fill super slow otherwise it doesn't work and sounds the alarm.  |
You can... But I'm still falling to understand why you wouldn't use a pump that is designed to pump the small volumes an ATO requires?
I personally use the AquaLifter, and have for years, without issue. Taking a 158gph rated pump and throttling it down to literally 1 or 2 gph is asking for trouble. Not to mention dialing it down that low will be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
