...and I used to say that myself, until we all got into the argument, and (finally/eventually) figured out that that was wrong.

Higher flow is better. An effective flow of 100 gph is good, and some people would advance that 200 gph (effective) is worth the expense. I'm still trying to find a cost effective solution...
