Thanks Scott 750gph i think > Does anyone know what the flow rate on an amiracle U-tube overflow is? > > Thanks > > Scott I remember 600gph for some reason, I have never had more than 450gph go through my amiracle so I can't be sure. Check some retail site for specs or find the amiracle homepage, I would like to find the exact answer myself... > 750gph i think > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> Scott I can tell you that I have a 600GPH pump and its real close to not keeping up. in fact if anyone has any ideas how to make my box faster Im in need!!!!

I am unsure if adding another u-tube to the same box would overpower the bulkhead drain to the sump, but I have seen a pic somewhere(ages ago) with two u-tubes in the same overflow box(a single tube amiracle, not a double overflow box). Let us know what you come up with. >I can tell you that I have a 600GPH pump and its real close to not keeping >up. in fact if anyone has any ideas how to make my box faster Im in [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>>> >>>> Scott I went to the Amiracle website and it doesn't show any stats for the overflow. The instructions that came with it don't say either. I remember 600 for some reason to but I'd like to know for sure before I buy a pump. I think I'll go with 600 just to be safe.
