i don't have a well; I have a catchment tank. I use a Paloma & was told I need min. 4 GPM to keep H2O hot. Will this unit replace my old tank & pump?

Sir, I live by the Grand Canyon. Everyone heare uses a shallow well pump. The water tanks are buried 34" in the ground for a rise of three feet to the pump and then the house. This is a shallow well system. It has no effect on your hot water. The flow rate, 4GPM is irrelevant. The pump has an internal pressure gauge to deliver approximately 40 GPM to your home

Yes it will, I have a little different set up, but I have no PROBLEM with hot or cold water and have been using it for months now. This replaced the former pump I had for more than 10 years, and is working JUST FINE.

I went from a 500 GPH Johnson pump to a 750 GPH pump and used the same 5 amp fuse and have had no problems. The 750 pump will fit without no issues in the 500 GPH pump housing. Improves water intake into the livewells.

which type of well? Live well? shallow water well? etc. this pump will move water just not a lot up a long distance. I pump from a 5000ga holding tank up 8 feet to a garden irrigation system and the pump holds at 4gpm.

It will work, but DON'T do it. You will lose the efficiency of your tankless system, and most manufacturers will void or reduce your warrantee if you configure their product with a recirculation pump. If you are still in need of a remedy for the so-called "Cold water Sandwich", you will need to get a flow sensor, a 30 second timer and a high velocity pump appropriate for your configuration. When there is a call for hot water, the pump kicks on for 20-40 seconds and then shuts off. This approach returns the cold water in your pipes to your tankless, and then shuts off until the next call. It does not force your unit to cycle 24 x 7. It will work, but DON'T do it.

We are using it the pump as a pressure pump. I'm not sure of the GPM but it is a very powerful pump. It's the best deal on the market. Buy the pump you won't be disappointed. We are pumping the water over 100' to the church and have really good pressure without any lags in water.

I don't believe the GPM is sufficient enough for the water heater to turn on! check the manufacturers minimum requirements for GPM (gallons per minutes)

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.

Not sure GPM but it should be fine to run water through a garden hose with no issues.

No GPM on the label, sorry. you may be able to get from Watkins, the maker of the Hot Springs spa. This the circulation/heater pump.

With city water I would think you should get closer to 10 gpm. We are running 6 with #3 nozzles with only 5gpm. We have plenty of pressure with that.

Before I answer your question, let me tell you, don't buy it. You will be disappointed! I bought two and both were faulty in exactly the same period of time. I am not sure how many gpm of water was pumped, but initially they worked fine then failed miserably

I think it would work for a much longer outage than that. I'm not sure what your pump is rated in gpm vs. basepump gpm, but as long as they're close, you should be fine.

Maybe look at the Hydor Koralia Nano 240 Aquarium Circulation Pump 240 GPH , or the 425 model...that is what I am looking at for my 46 gal.

As long as the GPH is correct going out of the filter and into the chiller I do not see any reason why it would be a problem. A pump is a pump no matter where it is. One thing you could consider is shortening or adding more length to your tubes to increase/decrease the water flow rate to match the chillers needs. The only thing you are going to need is some extra tubing and clamps to seal leaks. The setup would like this: Tank -&gt; filter intake -&gt; tube to filter -&gt; tube from filter outtake into chiller intake -&gt; tube from chiller output out back into the tank.

Hi Gary, good question and i do not know the answer. I know the gas paloma i had could be plugged into a garden hose. Call a plumber who sells Rinnai and ask him, i found they are always willing to help or call Rinnai directly. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

If you haven't already, I would call the company. They are very informative and easy to talk to. They recommend the straightest shot from the meter to the pump to get the most pressure. Mine goes to my basepump after many branches and it works fine. If you pass the 5 gal bucket test, you are probably fine. Another point - Everyone I know with a water softener has a well. You need city water for the basepump. No power would equal no well water.

1 is barely enough 2 shouldn't hurt I have 2500gph in my 55 and it could take more a good rule of thumb go salt water is "a minimum of 20gph flow per 1 gallon of tank volume" so a 55 needs a minimum of 2100 gph also just watch your aquarium and give it what it likes
