What is the flow rate or GPH for this filter?

Depends on how strong your air pump is dial back the pump and you get less flow

this is not a mechanical or power filter, you can connect it to a air pump to increase the cycle.

Nope, the flow rate is different. Read here for /lots/ more info: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2B1F0JGB32PMH/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2B1F0JGB32PMH

Seems like it's faulty to me. I just replaced my filter with a new one and the flow is the same as the one that came with the unit.

It should be compatible with GPH flow,but I must warn you that the filters in this unit are very course and do not trap small particulates as promised. These filters in my opinion are not the best filter on the market and regret buying the 2 that I purchased. I am doing a completely different set up this year,finer filters and a skimmer,but I must tell you that my pond is 4200 gallons and supports 14 Koi 14" and larger. All in all I would not reccomend these filters for small or large ponds. Hope this was helpfull. Marc

According to testing it runs about 450 gph. This rating is what you commonly see when you look at a gph rate, but most companies test the product empty. Once you fill it with media and hook up the hoses and stuff you end up with about 200 gph. I set up my tanks with more filtration then a lot of people, so for me, this filter is ideal for a 55 gallon tank, or 75 gallon tank with medium bio-load. I ran two of these and two Emperor 400 filters on my 150 gallon tank with high bio-load and the water was clear. I mention this because the box states it can handle up to a 265 gallon aquarium, which it probably could if the tank was heavily plants and lightly stocked and the filter was cleaned every 2 weeks, which are things that usually don't happen.

2 filters. Make sure piping leading to filter has enough volume so that when the flow is reduced at the filter the backpressure doesn't cause the water to backup at the source.

I used 1 1/4" tube with the included pump and it has large flow. The filter doesn't hinder flow much if kept level with water. Extreme elevation will slow the flow. (Over 10 feet) check for blocks. Check the pump by itself

Sorry to say I don't remember. However, the flow rate is quite good as it comes.

Yes a 1 hp pump is fine. The filter comes with a flow restrictor disc so if your pump exceeds the recommended gpm the disc compensates for that. It's explained in the owners manual.

When new aprox 1G.P.M. on a max. well pressure of 60 PSI. I have 2 of these filters plummed in a series. These would not flow enough water to use as a whole house filter. I use them for drinking water only.

never paid much attention to flow rate, but we have flow rate to meet our needs. I would expect that flow rate is is related to the pressure that your water supply or regulator provides.

27 x 52 pool is about 18,400 gal / 8 hrs = 2300 gph / 60 min = 38.3 gpm apx flow rate needed. This filter is a little small.

Hi Tog, We have been using the filters at the house for over a year. They're working Great, can't tell you the GPM but I have them rigged in pairs (2 sets) and I run about 10 GPM at times. Hope this helps. Capt. Bob

Sorry - I don't really know GPH But we have been using this filter over a month - have not noticed any flow issues & it works great - in this park the water has a heavy chlorine taste & order - you can not make coffee with it With this filter - Great tasting coffee - good tasting water right from the tsp This filter works really good

I could not detect a GPH rate difference, but we're using the largest filter media - I believe it's the 50 micron sized media - and it completely resolved our silt and sand issue.

Simply gallon per hour of filtration or gph. The higher the model number the more filtration per hour. 1500 does around 300 gph. If you have a large tank...then the aquarium environment needs a filter capable of maintaining it and more gph of filtration.

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA
