Can anyone say what the actual flow rate (or range) is (I need about 3 to 4 GPM)?

I'm a bit unclear: These pumps simply circulate the hot water through a "runaround" circuit, so that you have instant hot water when you turn on the faucet, shower, etc. Once the faucet, shower, etc. is turned on, then the house pressure delivers the water at whatever the pressure is in the pipes. So, my question is: for what purpose are you using the pump that you require 3-4 gmp?

I really can't answer but I have mine installed as a recirculating line and whatever the house pressure is how many G.P.M. you get.

I think mine saves me about half the water, if I had not installed the Laing lhb08100085, however, the one I had before was 100% better but, it also gave problems, the cold faucet was always warm but, if you want a cold glass of water you can go to the refrig. and get one.

The Orifice # like 3,4,5, Etc would be the # gallons per minute at the standard pressure of 4000 psi. The ratio is not linear. A #4 would pass 2 gpm @ 1000 psi, 4 gpm @ 4000 psi and 5.7 @ 8000 psi. An excellent chart at "ultimatewasher.com".

Manufacture rating is actually 80 gph, real world more like 1/3-1/2 rated flow rate.

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

We are up at about 6300 ft above sea level, and even so I can get the output temp up to 120 degrees, but be aware the flow is limited to 3.5 gpm, so I'm now sorry I did not get the next size up, but it works fine!

From my experiments, I have calculated that this 50 GPD Flow Restrictor produces a flow rate of about 442ml/min. Reducing the flow of the water source produces the same results.

from the way I understand it you need 3 or 4X the flow per hour so 3X75=225 and times 4 is still only 300 gallons an hour. so it should be more than enough for filtering your tank. Now if you want more flow just add a powerhead and direct it in tha direction you need.

I don't remember the flow rate as it has been in the pond for over a year. My pond is about 4,800 gallons. The filter is amazing. It has not given any problems and runs 24/7 even in below freezing temps. I think the pump is 5000 gpm. This spring I will pull the pump and could then give exact specs.

I had the same question. I went to the manufacturer's website and looked at the spec sheet which says it's rated for 10 GPM http://www.aquapurefilters.com/shop/product/resource/760/ap430ssspec.pdf

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

Hi there...I checked the box again today and it's slow flow. Apologies I gave an incorrect answer to the last asker

I don't know the flow rate in GPM but, didn't encounter any flow restriction when I used this cartridge. I did notice a reduction in flow when tried to replace a faucet aerator with one from Home Depot. Back it went. The EPA changed the regulations so I fixed the screen on the old one.

I installed the pump at 300 ft. GPM is not adjustable and dependent on your pipe, valves etc size. 12 GPM is maximum. If your well replenishment rate is low install a Franklin Electric QD Pumptec - Pump Protector.

It certainly is greater flow rate than the replaced manual unit. I don't a have numerical GPM.

no flow rates are given in the literature that comes with the pump. however i run a 50 ton ram and it works fine

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.

I measured the GPM at 2.5. It does not have a flow restrictor that can be removed.
