How many gallon per minute can it produce?

Gallons per minute output depends on the water pressure TO the unit. In my experience, the flow is unimpeded and output is equal to the normal flow of water through our kitchen pipe. I can't measure gallons per minute. I'd say our kitchen faucet runs normally - and strong. I have used these units since the 1980's and I love them. I'm really sad that they are no longer in production.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to provide a gallon/hour estimate. There are just too many variables, the most important of which is your water pressure. It can also be affected by how hot it is that day (ie how much water evaporates), what kind of soil you have, etc etc.

I agree with Bradley. I was able to pump out 2 gallons from a scooter in around 2 minutes. I figure it would take 5-6 minutes of steady pumping to do 5 gallons. It's a good little pump. If it took Don 15-30 to pump 5 gallons, then his pump may be broken.

I haven't used it in a while but I believe more then a gallon but less then two. The output is up to 1.8 in a 10 hour period. It's hard to remember. It didn't run as long as my other one did and it was about 2.5 gallon. It's made to be a room humidifier not a whole house like some are. It works well though.

Not sure :-/ 1 gallon? 1.5? We use it all night - 7:30am to 8 am - on the medium & warm setting, and it doesn't run out. We refill it each night. Hope that helps!

Hi Nicole: Pumps 10 gallons/minute. Effective in that range. We have had several over the years and are quite satisfied. Pump turns on when submerged so we dug a hole for the pump to sit below the incoming water, leaving only minimum amounts on the floor. :-) Bob & Mary

The rated capacity under load is 1320 cubic centimeters per minute (it's the "Rated load spit water" spec in the list). That works out to just under 0.35 gallons per minute, or about 21.5 gallons per hour, plus or minus 2.15 gallons per hour due to the stated 10% variance.

The Orifice # like 3,4,5, Etc would be the # gallons per minute at the standard pressure of 4000 psi. The ratio is not linear. A #4 would pass 2 gpm @ 1000 psi, 4 gpm @ 4000 psi and 5.7 @ 8000 psi. An excellent chart at "ultimatewasher.com".

It requires 120 volt input and consumes 11 amps. Output maximum is 1500 PSI and 1.58 gallons per minute (data taken from the owner's manual)

It seems like its about a gallon. Not sure about the exact spec. And in general it doesn't seem to last as long as I think it should.

i guess that means gallons per minute. anyway it is a powerful pump. i just have a 15 foot pool and it is twice as strong as the original

We have the 5L and don't have a problem with the number of gallons per minute that it produces. I think the only difference is the 10L pumps out 2.5 gpm but I could be wrong. Hope this helps. We use it for an outdoor shower at our farm and love it!

I have used mine with the timer set at 15sec every 5 to 10 min for 4 to 6 hours at a time and have done maybe a dozen parties and I have used a gallon and a half total.... One tanks lasts a lot longer than I ever expected.

79 gallons max per hour, I use it in a 20 gallon long aquarium with about 8-10 gallons of water and it works great with my 1 adult painted turtle.

From experience I have found it consumes 1 gallon per hour, 20 gallon (BBQ) propane tank is roughly 4 gallons.

The RPM is 3400 = 6,000 gallons per hour. I hope this answers your question.

It can make 2 gallons but you will have to double to recipe and perhaps leave it in a little longer. I usually let mine work for 14-30 days.
