Gast 0523 pump will produce approximately double the cfm at 5 psi while using half the electricity that the 87R will generate. . Your pond will produce roughly 5 psi back pressure at it's deepest point, www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
