    Return pumps with measured flow of 800+GPH

    Hi

    Wanted to know if anyone has measured flow from a DC return pump at close to or above 800GPH on 1” plumbing and 1” flow sensor.

    Triton has high flow requirements. 1000GPH on the Red Sea is going to be too far to shoot for. So I’m hoping for 800ish

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you bought the return pump yet? If not, provide pics of setup with a diagram of how you want to plumb it (include measurements) and we can run a head loss calc to determine what pump can meet your goal.

    Ya tried Cor15 and Cor20. Can’t count on head pressure charts. They test pumps on vertical pipe which I found in practice doesn’t translate to 430GPH on cor15 460GPH on Cor20. That’s why I’m asking for real world measured flow. I’ve done bucket test on outlet and pump. Numbers are accurate. I’m running 1” plumbing with 3 90s (1 unused T, don’t want to remove it but it won’t be feeding anything) the plumbing is reduced to 3/4 barb of redsea (joined with 6” piece of soft tubing to reduce vibration) and there’s a 3/4 T and vivid Aquatic flow heads (without them there additional 20GPH of flow so not much resistance from them) I’m being told I have to count head for all the unions and flow sensor and reductions.

    I’m thinking Varios 8 or Vectra L1 as I need a quiet pump with my tank being in the family room.
