Oops, that was mercury... correcting...

Starting over... with a lower flow rate of 1 gpm, the block would drop 0.2 meters H2O, and the core would drop 0.5 psi, aka 0.35 meters H20, for a total drop of 0.55 meters H20, or a bit less than 2 feet.

At 1 gpm, the Hydor 20 can do well more than 2 feet, in fact, it can do almost 4.

So I would guess that the resulting flow rate would be in the 5 lpm range, resulting in a C/W of 0.23, which is very good.
