10 gpm is going to be no faster than a water hose. A 1/2" water hose runs 10 gpm at 60 psi.

I had one 75gpm pump on my water falls then added a second with an in pond pump of 80 gpm for a total of 230 gpm just to get it to look good enough with a 5 foot top rock.

Your going to need some major volume to be happy let alone make trout happy.

Cheers Don.

Look very close at brush-less if your really want solar. Look at adding wind to the mix. Much more power faster with wind. The days its not sunny you have wind.
