what is the max gph flow rate? thanks

I'm not sure what the max rate is - but its a lot - wide open is essentially just allowing the tube to flow freely - not sure why you'd need an emitter if you want that much water - just poke holes in the supply tube... My frustration is at the other end of the range - I wish they could provide an even slower drip.

You can regulate the flow by turning the "red" end. Wide open, I'd guess, 1 gpm. Great nozzles.

I do not recall. I do not think the rotational speed of the drive would explain such incredibly slow transfer rates I was getting about 10 MB per hour.

Daniel: Gallon per hour flow rate is a measure of how much water goes through the filter every hour. You ideally want to circulater the water in your tank about 6-8 times per hour. So, if you have a 10G tank, you want a flow rate of about 60-80 GPH. The Finnex is advertised at about 95GPH. Unfortunately, most manufacturer's rating are hard to understand. Sometimes they are measured without any filter media, so the filter is just circulating water, but not filtering anything. Others measure their flow rates more realistically. So beware of relying on manufacturer's numbers..... The Finnex is suitable for 5-10G tanks. Some people say it will work for 20G tanks, but I think this will only work if the tank is lightly stocked. Hope this helps. Gautam Bose

You got it right, .12 gpm max flow rate at 3000 psi through an orifice .011". All the x11 tips are the same orifice size. The only differance is the fan width. The last 2 numbers represent the orifice size ( i.e. 311= .011, the 515=.015 etc.)

2.2GPM , but flow rate has more to do with how many GPM you can supply than PSI . For example- if you have 1/2" water lines you will have higher PSI than 3/4" lines , but you will have more GPM with the 3/4" lines.

I have a 350 gph power head running through it. The unit itself is pretty well built.

Minimum operating pressure is 14 PSI with a maximum of 140 PSI. Maximum flow rate is 5.5 GPM

Dear Customer, According to the equation: Fluid Power (HP) = Pressure (PSI) x Flow (GPM) / 1714 The HP required is 22.75. Cheers, YZOUTLET

Sorry,no idea. I simply run it at max. I doubt there's any downside so long as you don't peer directly into it. Good luck/stay happy.

I measured .75gpm on the lowest flow that activates the unit. Ours is on the highest setting.

I've got about a 350 gpH pump and I have to dial it down. I have 90 total system gallons. I'm tumbling npx balls in it and they like a nice slow tumble.

According to testing it runs about 450 gph. This rating is what you commonly see when you look at a gph rate, but most companies test the product empty. Once you fill it with media and hook up the hoses and stuff you end up with about 200 gph. I set up my tanks with more filtration then a lot of people, so for me, this filter is ideal for a 55 gallon tank, or 75 gallon tank with medium bio-load. I ran two of these and two Emperor 400 filters on my 150 gallon tank with high bio-load and the water was clear. I mention this because the box states it can handle up to a 265 gallon aquarium, which it probably could if the tank was heavily plants and lightly stocked and the filter was cleaned every 2 weeks, which are things that usually don't happen.

Thx for all the answers to my question "Can you tell me what the max flow rating is on this valve in GPM? Thx." For the record it looks like Christine was the closest correct response overall. Valterra finally responded and said the valve is calculated for 14-15 gpm at the preset 45 psi. This sounds to me like a very high fps calc but at Christina pointed out this is under optimum conditions so I say take it with a grain of salt. Most ½ valves will be limited in real world to app 7-8 gpm and 5/8 to app 10-12 gpm IMO. A good comparison would be with Watts regulators also. Thx again to all.

That is just the model number not GPH. The flow rate for the 1200 is 315 gallons per hour and that is true flow rate not like marineland who boasts a 360 gph rate that is( by their own spec's) actually only 220. Hand down the penn plax is by far a better pump. I have 5 of them after going through fluval, marineland, API.

Yes, it is 2.0 GPM max for the fixed showerhead (and 1.75 max for the handheld), which meets the CALGreen max.I'm not sure why the Amazon site lists it as 2.5 GPM, might be from a previous generation of the product.Since it's a thermostatic valve with a separate diverter, you can easily control the flow (no push-pull fiddling).I'm personally very happy with the showerhead. Very even, wide water distribution, but more forceful than you would get with a full-width "rain" showerhead.Water can only flow from either the fixed showerhead OR the handheld, not both concurrently.

I believe the description clearly states "up to 500GPH" ... that's gallons per hour, hope that helps.

The Max Flow Rate for this filter is 0.78 gallons per minute. Thank you for your interest in this filter.
