DIY sump

[bud]

I guess the math says it a 246 watt.I just hooked it up and it drained a 5gl bucket in 8 seconds.But that is with out back pressure

I was only going to use 12 of the 18 1'' over flow but maybe I should run all 18.There will be 12, 3/4''pipe from the pump

There is no way to calculate gph off of electrical consumption... even the horsepower doesn't translate accurately...

Different motors have different efficiencies and different impellers will move water differently...

But regardless, the fact it can empty a 5 gal bucket in 8 seconds means it's one hell of a pump!
