I have a Mag 24.. I pvc'd out of that with 1"... took that to the middle of the tank, where I came to a T. That T split the return into 2 3/4" pvc, that then goes to the bulkheads and then up.

The pump pumps up about 2' in 1" T's over 3' on each side in dual 3/4 " then goes up anout 3 more feet.

What do you approx. my GPH flow is?

Heres some pics.. I know the sump is messed.. its all being redone I just wanna get an idea of my flow rate. I tried the head loss calculator and not sure if I got it right thanks.

Your going to have to approximate using RC's headloss calculator: Use 2 x 3/4" pipes = 1 x 1" pipe
