Just wondering if anybody knows what rpm the Vortech MP40 runs a full speed and at the lowest setting?

Thanks :)

1000gph at it's lowest normal setting, and 3200gph at 100%; 500gph in feed mode.

Edit: It has apparently been a long day for me, as I just noticed that you asked for RPM and not GPH. Sorry, don't know that one, but you may want to try posting this in the EcoTech forum.

I'm curious why youre inquiring about rpm speeds? Are you trying to correlate it to gph or something?

Yes, want some info about rpm and yorque too if possible. I'm curious about the RPMs that powerheads run at to move water. I have an idea I want to try with a different motor :)

And good idea, I will try the ecotech forum too.

That's awesome. Keep us posted if your motor swap is an improvement

Maybe Ecotech would know those specs?

Tried that. No answer. I'm just wanting to know what sort of rpms that powerheads like the MP40, or Jebao RWs or Tunze powerheads run at. I have an idea I want to try with a different type of motor but need to know what sort of performance I need.

I'm sure they know but for some reason they aren't telling :spin3:
