Ultima II Rated vs. Actual Flow

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
@def leppard I have a Hammerhead as well. It is the 6k GPH model. I would really love to use that pump on the Ultima II 2000. I just think it will be too much but have no baseline for comparison.

You could, for the time being, run a double union ball valve between the pump and the Ultima II filter and control the flow that way. That's how I have mine set up right now. You could always calculate your flow manually with a gallon bucket and a timer. That's how I've set my valve opening, as to not push the water too fast through the filter.
