quiet one pump actual flow rate?

[rullypullyfishhead]

have a question if anyone can anwer?the quiet one 4000 pump says it can flow 1017 gph at zero foot.its consumes 50 watts at 79 amps.the watts and amps seem low to push 1017 gph?now the 5000 series consumes 110 watts 2.48 amps and pushes 1330 gph.
has anyone confirmed the quiet one 4000 pump flow rate?not the high head version of the 4000 the regular 4000.
reason iam asking is petsmart has the 4000 series for 51 dollars delivered.seems great price?

If the graph on their website is correct, that puts it at about 780gph@4ft. That is extremely efficient for 50 watts.

Something is not right in your data if it draws 0.79 amps at US household voltage then it uses 91 watts.
115 V X .79 A = 91 W ~ if the numbers are correct then it would have to be running on 63 volts

• By the definitions of electric potential (volt) and current (ampere), work is done at a rate of one watt when one ampere flows through a potential difference of one volt.[1]

1W=1V×1A

thx for replys.must be a typo in there 4000 series pump.ok cool well when i get some cash iam going to buy it and feel more condfident about purchase.91 watts does sound more like it.

i'd give them a call and confirm, would be worth it if the pump somehow really is 50 watts.
