Does anyone know what the flow rate (GPH) is for this filter?

Manufacture rating is actually 80 gph, real world more like 1/3-1/2 rated flow rate.

I ordered this item and received an Aqua-Pure AP810 "Premium Performance Filter Cartridge , Reduces: Sediment/Rust , Nominal Micron Rating: 5 , Flow Rate: 20 gpm (75 lpm) , Fits most large diameter housings , For use in applications up to 100degrees F (37.8 degrees C)." Wally Weber, Issaquah, WA.

It is 4400 GPH. I've owned this for a year... So far it's been a great pump. Quiet, reliable, powerful.

Yes, this will work with most canister filters and I have not noticed any difference in flow rate. I have mine on and Marineland C220 canister filter.

Nope, the flow rate is different. Read here for /lots/ more info: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2B1F0JGB32PMH/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2B1F0JGB32PMH

John I would also like to know what it is. However, most of these types of filters I have seen generally have a rating of 3. It's about equivalent to the old fiber glass filters, low dust pickup but high flow. I have a 10x6x1 box (in addition to the others) in my house and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find an actual filter for it. Even the builder put in one of these types of filters. I've been here for 10 years now and haven't had any issues with my system or this type of filter for just this one.

It was installed for our whole house, although there are just the two of us now. The bulb lasts for a year and has a digital countdown meter on the filter to show when replacement is needed. Sorry, I don't remember the flow rate, but they come in different flow rated sizes.

Sorry I don't know. Whatever information amazon listed was correct about the filter for my model.

GPM is gallons per minute. It is the flow rate that the filter will process. The pressure drop is the lower pressure that is caused when your well water tank cycles on and off when drawing new water out of the ground. Make sure your pressure valve cuts off around 40 psi.

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA

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 could not detect a GPH rate difference, but we're using the largest filter media - I believe it's the 50 micron sized media - and it completely resolved our silt and sand issue.

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

There is no GPM rating on the package. I use 2 in series under the kitchen cabinet for drinking water. They are not built for whole house use. The water pressure and taste is the same as with my original filters that cost much more.

I am not sure the flow rate, but it is adjustable. mine is in a 150gal I am at about 3/4 on flow it cleaned up tank in two days . works great I love it. highly recommend it. worth every penny.

I would expect the flow rate to be slightly less than an EZ-1, but I have used two of the EZ-3 filters, and both of them have been considerably slower, little more than a trickle. Most likely they filter better, but I will go back to the EZ-1 next change, if they are still available.
