what pump shall i use with this product? flow rate?

I am using a 5000 gpm pump and the system works very well. Hope this helps.

I'd like just a little higher flow. It works OK, but we have a 3' waterfall and I wish it pushed a bit more water.

I talked to the folks who make Fishmate - they recommended the 4000, which we purchased. Its 4200gph. I wish that I had gotten the 5000.

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.

Nope, the flow rate is different. Read here for /lots/ more info: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2B1F0JGB32PMH/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2B1F0JGB32PMH

Definitely external pump. This pump is overkill for your application anyway. You should be able to find the right pump for your car at lower price, and it's guaranteed to fit by design

It is very thin liquid so i don't think a pump will be a good idea.I just mix it in my shampoo or conditioner..hope this help

I have a 125g as well. I am running two 850 powerheads as well as a 1200 gph return pump. In my opinion the more flow the better so I would suggest at least another 850.

the pump I use is smaller, it's rated at 2000 gal. the 2900 might be a bit to big.

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

No, this is not that type of pump. You will need a transfer pump with more hp than this one.

I don't know the flow rate but it has a removable water restrictor, so you can set it up accordingly.

Recommended flow rate ca. 20 - 30 gal/hr (75 - 115 l/hr). Too much flow can grind PhosBan.

I've read that you need an pump of at least 1hp or 1-1/2hp. My mine is a 1hp and it's working.

Diaphram pumps are not a good design for continuous flow. You may want a centrifigul pump instead.

My Best answer - the high flow gun should work (provided you have enough pressure) unless I am not understanding the question - using typical 1/2" flow hose, these are the standard fit for that.

Yes, there is a pump built in but I do not know the flow rate. There are 2 power connections. One for the pump. The other for the backlight.

There are a number of variables to take into consideration when selecting a pump: Size of your pipes, length of the run, filter pressure, back pressure, etc. but on every single water pump, flow rate and pump head are the two most important specifications. Flow rate is how much water can be moved in time period without any restriction. This value is usually given in gallons per hour (GPH). Head is how high water can be pushed by the pump at full load. This value is usually given in feet or meters. As the height you're pumping the water goes up, the flow rate (GPH) goes down. So, you want to get a pump that can get the water to six feet high and still maintain you ideal flow rate to heat the water. What I discovered is that if I push the water too fast through the system, the water does not stay in the collector long enough to heat it up enough (the water cools the collectors too fast). If you pump it too slowly, then it can't keep up with the natural cooling of the water in the pool. I'm currently using an old Intex 635T pump/filter combo that I had from an old pool. The head height for me is only 4', but that pump has no issues circulating the water. In fact, I've installed a valve to slow the water down a bit so it has time to heat up while it's in the system. The key is finding the most efficient pump for the job - don't buy a giant 2 hp that you have to regulate (and doubles your electric bill), when you can get by with, say a 1/2 HP motor that does the job just as well and cheaper. I've discovered that my old Intex pump/filter combo works pretty well and is running at about 10-15 gallons per minute and the water temperature (at the return) is warmer to the touch. You might be able to run it faster, since you have 3 panels (I have only 2). I also recommend that you put a filter between the pump and the solar panels if you use another brand of pump with no filter - any kind of debris in the water could get trapped in the solar panels and reduce your efficiency and heat. I hope this helps.

While it really depends on the size of the container/pond and how much water you want to pump up, the Beckett M60AUL Pond Fountain Pump, 80 GPH should work fine for most applications.

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
