Trying to decide whether to buy a Tom's Aqualifter pump or the one from the store on this site to use with the float switches received with my RA+? Will only be pumping a couple of feet away from sump from a 5 gal. water bottle. Any suggestions?..........Thanks!

Either will work fine. The AquaLifter will need to be rebuilt/replaced periodically and won't work with much head pressure at all.

Thanks for the reply! Is the RA pump noisy as I have seen searching older threads? Also is an additional safeguard the fact that the Aqualifter is not anti-siphon and the RA is? Sorry for all the questions!

I don't know about the noise issue, but you would have to be careful of the siphon on the aqua-lifter.
