Yeah, those are just for temporary applications. Not something you need to be reliable.

I'm really liking those Iwaki pumps tho. Two of the 1HP pumps, 22X and 44Y would only require a fraction of the consumed watts to pull off Bruce's gig, as the 1/2HP would be going balls to the wall.

The charts most post are for fairly decent estimation. If it's a real project, then the flood gates of info will open.

Too many inquiring minds on the internet that muck up the works.
