1/ How many watts does the 1350GPH pull? 2/ Does this pump actually deliver 1350GPH maximum flow (0 lift)? Have you tested it?

I don't know, it's just plugged into a regular outlet/breaker with no problems. I have it pumping into my filter so it's hard to tell. It moves quite a bit of water up to the mid point of a waterfall.K

I am not sure that it delivers 1350GPH. I bought this one to replace a previous version that I had in my out door pond. The other Laguna pump I replaced lasted almost 4 years. I understand that is the life expectation. I have it running constantly trough an outside Filter and returning through a 3 tier waterfall. It does the job for me.

It's a good pump but, I cannot tell it's exact flow. I power a fountain and a filter.

Not sure about watts but you might find that under the specs. Definitely delivers. I have it running a waterfall and bubbler. I have to use a diverter of about 25/75 or the bubbler is to strong. The waterfall is about four feet above floor of pond and runs strong.

The pump has a continuous rating of 1/2 HP = 373 watts. The current is labeled on the pump as 8.5 amps, presumably at its continuous load rating. At startup you will get a momentary surge greater than the continuous rating, which occurs so instantaneously as to be of no concern. And don't worry about surge current from an imagined "overload" either, as it is impossible to stall it, because its inlet prevents large debris from getting inside and jamming the rotor. Note that on the Amazon page under Technical Details this pump is ERRONEOUSLY specified to be 1 HP @ 100.00 volts. Ignore that misinformation.

The flow is not adjustable. The size of pump depends on the lifting requirement for your pond flow.

If you are looking for relatively low flow but quiet and reliable it works fine. Granted i only had it pumping maybe 8 inches of lift but at that height if works great. Not sure exactly how much water it moves but i would venture a gal or so a min. I use it to move water from a planted container to a container beside it housing goldfish for over-wintering. I don't want the fish eating my plants but want the plants well fertilized and this pump plus a return siphon do the job very nicely.

My 8cfm pump says "1 HP" on the side. I assume its different for each CFM though.In HG and due to my elevation I'm only suppose to pull a vac of "28.4HG" and I did with my old pump. But with this new Pump, I can pull "29.3 HG" (I didn't even think It'd pull anything past 28.4hg tbh)So I can assure you this pump has more vacuum power compared to others.But I can't confirm its "11lbs" of pressure.

Hi I have a one hp 220 I pull 80 feet it holds 60 psi great pump so farsteve g

I have this pump and tank. I have a diagonal lift of 20 feet. it works very well. I push 4 faucets on the back side of my home. I have good pressure when using 2 of the faucets at a time. the pump turns on frequently but the pressure has been good. I have the unit under a workbench and love the small space it requires.

The best I can tell you is the amperage used for this pump will vary depending on the psi the unit is set at. At maximum psi (50), it will draw 10.6 Amps, 9.6 Amps at 40 psi, etc.

I am doing a similar project as you... I'm trying to deliver water to my bench grinder. So the "head" is how high the distance is from the pump to where you want the water to exit the tubing. A pump will pump vastly different amounts of fluid depending on how great that "upward" distance is. The Rio pump I first got was rated very optimistically at 120 gph (gallons per hour) but only if the outlet was at the same level at the inlet with no tubing attached. I attached tubing and starting lifting the hose higher and higher above the pump. The stream got less and less the further I lifted the hose and stopped flowing completely at 32". It took more power than the pump had to get further than this. I am doing a similar project as you... I'm trying to deliver water to my bench grinder.

Hello,If you are using 1/2" pipe throughout the calulated flow rate for one SW-37 wnd the TopsFlo pump is 0.17 gpm. If you have very long runs it may be slightly slower. While this seems like a very low flow rate it is adequate to remove all the sloar heat from the panel efficiently. If you have more than one panel the flow rate will increase due to the fact that they are connected in parallel.Thank YouHeliatos Solar

this was pulled from the site from where I purchased the pump "...Technical Specs: 115volts/60hz/35 watts (6,000 Gallons every 24 hours)"... - comes to 4.17gpm

According to specifications will pump up to 10 feet with little loss of flow (over 2000 gallons per hour). 15 feet up seems its limit with flow dropping to 1140 GPH. It won't make it to 20 feet, flow listed as "off."

It depends on what you want it to do. All pumps not only have gallons per minute rating but a lift rating. If you want it to supply a waterfall or move water to a height above pond level you need to check the rating. Otherwise it is a reliable pump and I have had one supplying a bird bath from a below ground container and it moves a lot of water and I must use a diverter to cut the flow. I have a waterfall close by and it would not move enough water three feet high so I use a bigger pump for this feature.

Don't think so. A pump that does that needs lifting power. This is not designed to have much lift, just pushing the water out (head). I use these pumps for coolant on machine shop tools. They sit in an oil mixture their entire life and pump not so clean liquid (metal particulates). In that application they perform fine, pumping (not lifting) the liquid about 4' maximum. I'm amazed at how long they last (some over 2 years and still going). They also sit unused for long periods (weeks or months) and fire up without a hiccup when needed.

My previous pump was 1 HP; I upgraded to the 1.5 HP and have been running it for well over a year now but have not noticed an increase in my electric bill as a result. I am very happy with the performance and especially that it is so quiet

According to the specs from http://www.riopump.net/products_pumps/Rioplus_desc.html it should be able to lift water to a max of 2'.

The output of the pump is 3.0 gallons a minute. Your supply water should exceed that. I would not trust a gravity flow to supply the pump. Keep in mind that when your water level drops in your tank the water flows slower to your pump. Too little flow to your pressure washer equals a burnt up pump. My short answer is no. It cannot. It's a great pressure washer tho.
