I am looking for real world feedback on the amount of flow the Vectra M1 pump can actually supply at various head heights between 5 and 10 feet into 1" plumbing. Hopefully there is even someone out there with measured numbers using a Apex flow monitor.

I have looked at Ecotech's posted flow chart. But I am looking for real data form actual users.

I am wanting a minimum total of 1120 GPH to drive the return flow (750 gph) and a manifold driven dual chamber GFO/Carbon reactor (~370 gph). The tank return head height is about 6 feet taking into account plumbing length, elbows and height of the return outlet. I don't have a number for the apparent head height the reactor will look like, but can't imagine it would exceed 4 feet. So I think 10 feet total is a good planning number.

Anyone have any data I can use?

Thanks!
