Hello all,
A buddy just gave me a Gast pump Model #6LCF-13-M616X. Does anyone know how many CFM's she'll do?

Thanks for any input here.

How deep will your discharge be? How far is the run from the pump to the diffuser? What size line will you be using?

Hey Theo,
The discharge will be in 12 feet of water using 1/2 inch black poly pipe 400 feet long. This pump has a 1 HP motor on it and it looks like it could really kick butt. Any input as to how many CFM's this guy puts out would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also check the current draw. It will be expensive to run for more than a few hrs. daily.
