So how to tell how much flow.

I know what most say for flow rates, my problem is just how do I tell that. I have 15, in my fuge, and the water is trickling over my baffle. I don't have a clue what my actual flow is.

Thanks.

 

Add up the GPH rating on your pumps that are making the flow such as power heads return pumps ect.

 

But, make sure the intake for each is not impeded, or it will reduce the actual flow.

 

Sorry guys, that's not what I meant.

Fixed all the typos from the op.

I mean, how do you tell how much flow you have going through your fuge. For anyone thats splits flows one way or the other and diverts to their fuge, how do you know how many GPH you are putting to it

My fuge holds 15g of water. So how do I tell how much 15 GPH is?

 

So it isn't just me then???

 

Measure the outlet discharge into a measuring cup then do the math
Or drain some water out and make 1" increment marks the time how long it takes to move up an inch then you can do some math..
Or mark a line then remove 2 3 4 or 5 gallons then time to see ow onlg it takes to get back to the first mark then math. I have a 20 Gal fuse and I pass 20 gph through it

 

Good Lord Tangster. I hate it when the obvious slaps me up side the head. Thanks

 

LOL nope you where probably trying to make it to complicated I have a very simple mind I'm not capable of complicated thinking Heck I was know as the village idiot at one site yrs ago .

 

Uncomplicated...sure. Idiot... I would have to disagree.
