Post your actual system flow rates

[georgeh630]

It would be nice to know what people are actually getting for flow rates with different pumps and accessories.
Now that you can actually see it in real time with the flow meters.
I'm can't believe how much lower my flow is than you would think.
5000 lph pump (running one click down from full)
Full doesn't improve enough to warrant the added noise (not that it's much)
I just recently cleaned and inspected the pump and have no reason to think anything is wrong with it.

1: 252 gph return pump (head 5 ft)
2: reactor 27 gph (almost no head)
3: uv sterilizer 25w 96 gph (ditto)

I'm using the 1" flow meter and 2 , 1/2" devices
The tank is a 75g with 19g sump FWIW.

Post your results.

Simplicity DC 2100 supplying both my return and ATS. 600gph to the return, 400gph to the ATS. 1" flow meter on both. 1.5" from the pump to a T, then 1" all the way to the tank. ATS is 1" to the sensor, then 3/4" to the ATS.

90 gal tank, 20gal sump, 42in head on the return.
Waveline DC10000 (2640gal at 0 head) return pump, 1 1/4 pump output to a spa style PVC Y that splits the 1 1/4 to twin 1in returns. Each 1in return line has a 1in flow sensor in it and reduces to 3/4in at it's respective Ocean Current nozzle.
Pump is set to about 50% and I'm getting 330gal per nozzle, 660gal total return flow at 42in.
