I have decided that the Quietone 1200 would be the appropriate pump for my sump. But the head loss calculator has me confused. DFS shows that the pump has 1/2" fittings, but that is not something I can select on the calculator (it only goes as small as 3/4"). Do I need to do any further figuring? I need to be shooting for 150-200gph. With 4 feet of vertical line and 2 90deg elbows, the calculator says I'll get about 185gph.

Please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks.

You could use a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter, if you want, but your numbers seem reasonable as they are.

Thank you. I think that'll work just fine.
