I replaced my Reeflo Barracuda with a Blueline 70.
Hmmm....how to best word this. The Reeflo Barracuda is rated for more flow, less head...... The Blueline is rated for less flow more head, but at 1/2 the wattage of the Reeflo. What I've found is that both pumps provide the same amount of flow in my setup, so overall that makes the Blueline cheaper to run. I know this as my overflows are tuned to run xxx gallons per hour quietly, and after swapping pumps, I had to reduce the flow nearly the exact same amount for both pumps. So what the Reeflo loses to head pressure, the Blueline pushed through with no loss of flow. And just for reference, I guesstimate my head pressure to be around 13 ft.
