Do you mention the head pressure because that's related to the flow rate?Originally Posted by foodchain
When I look at a pump, I look at the watts and flow rate. I look at the maximum head as well and the flow rate vs. height. This pump is rated 3000 GPH @ 5 feet. I wasn't planning on lifting my water more than 5 feet, least of all 50 feet! The more unit volume of water flow I get per unit energy, the more efficient it is, the better the pump in my book.
I'm sure there are better pumps out there now. Also, I think this pump was $150 or thereabouts when I posted it over a year ago.
