    I am looking at getting and setting up a larger tank with duel over flows 600 gallons a hour each.
    looking at this for a return pump am I reading these charts right
    here is a link that has the flow charts
    http://www.premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/CV-HY-7000W.html
    if I am doing my conversions right I with a 5 feet = 1.524 meter head pressure
    2000 model  has 1400 liter = 369.8 gallon
    3000 model  has 1800 liter = 475.5 gallon
    5000 model  has 3200 liter = 845.3 gallon
    7000 model  has 4500 liter = 1188.7 gallon
    10000 model  has 7700 liter = 2034.1 gallon
    Thanks

    I always assume that the pump is not going to perform to spec because specs are perfect condition tests. Get a little slime built up, add an elbow, a little calcification and your pump is no longer performing at those ratings. I over-estimate on the head pressure to get to a round number. I would say the 5000 @ 2 meters head pressure would be about 2800 l/ph or about 740 GPH. The 7000 @ 2 meters would be about 3800 liter = 1004 GPH. If it were me, and I was looking for just a return pump, I would get the 5000. If you're driving other stuff off of it too, go with the 7000.
