After pump head rating calculator

[Duzzy]

Hi there,

I am after a calculator that determines the pressure rating at different heights for different l/h pumps. Or a formula that allows me to calculate it myself.

Each pump is different. You need to get it from the maker of the pump you're interested in.

Head pressure will be lost at different rates for different filters.

Here is a chart by petsolutions that lists the flow loss with head pressure for many popular pumps

Check out the loss of flow between an iwaki pump versus an Rio Hyperflow (HF) pump.

Thanks for that, appreciate it
