GPH verses Wattage

[Bassinkorea]

I am looking in Korea to find a suitable return pump for my future sump build, but in Korea the pumps are all rated in Watts with no mention of GPH.

Is there some kind of conversion or calculation to find out how many watts equals GPH??

There's no direct conversion unfortunately.

Two pumps that draw the same amount of power (watts) may have very different flow rates (GPH). The more inefficient a pump, the higher it's power consumption will be for a given flow rate.

By RIO pumps they move the most water for the energy (Watts) consumed.

I think I will just buy from the States and get it shipped to Korea, that would be the easiest way
I have used aquaticeco before, so I'll try there first.

Thanks for your help guys.

Sounds good. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
