What liter per hour pump will be able to push the water efficiently?

Depends on the number if fittings you install. I would think for 5 tips the most you would need would be 30 liters per hour.

I use a handheld, portable air mattress pump. It's fast, easy to maneuver to the different valves, and small enough to take along.

depends on the lift (how high you are pumping) I am getting about 2500 GPH , but it has a lot more suction for the pool vacum than the little Intex pump and filter I was using. Now have a sand filter and it has plenty of pressure to get the water thru it and room to pump up to the solar on the roof.

Technically, that's 3 feet above its rated maximum head (which is 21 feet). That doesn't mean it won't work for that application. It would just be less efficient than a larger pump with higher head rating. It also depends on how often the pump will run. Forcing the pump to push a higher column of water than its rated would probably make it wear out sooner.

get any pump that does between 4-8 psi (mr gasket is autozone brand inexpensive)

Any pump should work... but let me just say mine ended up coming apart after the first season of use

Not this one. Even though this was rated at the higher gallons per hour it just couldn't keep up , don't get me wrong nice little pump, we put it in the fountain outside , was not a good fit for our big fishtank however.

any type of air pump will work but depending on what size skimmer you are getting you will need to deal with the water pressure, so i would recommend a decently strong air pump, some people suggest using 2 air pumps but i only have a Tetra whisper for 40 gal and it works fine.

I would look for a biiger pump. It mifht do it but the flow wont be very strong

Almost any size will work, I use a High-output oil-free pump delivers 2.8 CFM @ 90 PSI and 150 PSI max operating pressure like this model BOSTITCH CAP1512-OF 1.2 Gallon Oil-Free High-Output Trim Compressor. The larger the better but this works for field use.

That is just the model number not GPH. The flow rate for the 1200 is 315 gallons per hour and that is true flow rate not like marineland who boasts a 360 gph rate that is( by their own spec's) actually only 220. Hand down the penn plax is by far a better pump. I have 5 of them after going through fluval, marineland, API.

Liters per minute lpm . And it's a very small air pump like for an aquarium

A regular electric pump will work but it will take a while. We used them on a popular river so a place that rents them out let us use his pump. It worked a lot faster.

You could use an air compressor. The Aquapod has a pressure valve that release at 50 PSI. This only takes about 8-10 pumps from a standard bike pump, so an air compressor might be overkill and won't increase the performance.

I am using a 5000 gpm pump and the system works very well. Hope this helps.

Sorry Zoom, I don't know the answers, I seem to remember having similar questions and looking on the web site for tech specs. We do like the pump, it works perfectly for us.

I recommend the 2500 GPH pump and the salt water chlorinator.. You use very little, if any chemicals.
