I have a tump in the sump tank rated @ 3000L/H to see what its actually doing through 50mm pipe work, I turned all diversions off, had a 10L bucket and filled it in 14.75seconds

Now 60 sec divided by 14.75 = 4.07 so thats where my brain goes fuzzy.... on that ratio how many L/H are we pumping through system.

Thank you, amazingly enough I had that figure written down.

Iam happy with that. 3000L/H with a piece of flexi pipe, 4 25mm elbows and a ball valve to dump . bypass that and about another 600mm lift into FT yeah 2448 L/H is fine
