Out of curiousity I just conducted a flow test (with my beautiful girlfriend as an assistant) for my new rig. I get a flowrate of 12L/min (720L/h or ~190 gph). Needless to say, I am very pleased with these results, as they exceed my target of 2 gpm. Also, I think that these results show that my pump intake has a positive pressure (my H-Q curve shows a head of ~8.25 psi, or 19' H2O for this flowrate, indicating that the remainder of the pressure measured on my pressure gauge is intake pressure from the height of my resevior). I'll have some pictures posted by the end of the weekend. Thanks for your interest.
