Compatibility math

Head-loss margin

rated GPH should cover 5-10x system turnover after derating

Example: A 95g system usually wants about 950-1,900 rated GPH if plumbing cuts flow roughly in half.

Return pumps are judged by delivered flow, not only the zero-head box rating.

Risk notes

  • Box-rating GPH is measured at zero head. Real stands, elbows, valves, and plumbing cut that number down.
