| Re: Flow for 12G NC
Head Loss Calculator
Vertical length in feet 1.5
Horizontal length in feet
Pipe diameter in inches 0.75"
Choose your pump: Maxi jet 900
Number of 90 degree elbows 1
Number of 45 degree elbows
Number of gate valves
Number of ball valves
Number of union couplings
Number of swing check valves
Number of pipe exits 1
Number of pipe entrances 1
Total losses are 1.5 feet of head pressure, or 0.65 PSI. with a flow rate of 4 GPH. Process took 76 iterations.
You need a bigger pump. Even a 1200 will only give you 128 gph
