Rena XP3/XP4 Impeller Upgrade

I would also like to see a side by side view of the impellers.

It would also be extremely helpful to post the measurements of each impeller. This would include the
diameter & length of the magnet;
height, length & thickness of the impeller blades;
the OAL (over all length) of the impeller assembly;
and the impeller diameter or the hole in the center of the impeller.

Thank you south15, I will look forward to it.

did the test, took 1:33 sec to fill a 5 gallon bucket with the rio 2100 and 1:42 to fill a 5 gallon bucket with the xp4 impellar

oops i ment 1 min 33 sec rio 1min 42sec xp4

that's 193.54gph w/ the rio and 176.47gph w/ the stock xp4 impeller.

an improvement, but nowhere near 3x better or "600gph", that's why i don't get excited about estimates.

good work though, thanks for the update!

did the test, took 1:33 sec to fill a 5 gallon bucket with the rio 2100 and 1:42 to fill a 5 gallon bucket with the xp4 impellar

So 5 gallon divided by 93 seconds times 3600 seconds equals 193.45GPH
and 5 gallon divided by 102 seconds time 3600 seconds equals 176.47GPH

unless my math is wrong

Edit: I guess it's right Scatman got the same.
