Osmolator question

sbcaes · 01/08/2008, 06:43 PM

If i needed to have the Osmolator work in a configuration where it would need to pump water up to a height of 3-4 ft will the stock pump still work? or do i need to change the pump with something else?

You should be fine.

Metering pump capacity:
2.95ft: 13.74gph,
4.92ft: 12.42gph,
6.56ft: 7.13gph
Max. Height: 7.22ft

The strange numbers are probably conversions from metric
