Maybe you can switch out the T1 for a T2 or T3, both of which are pressure-rated, to maximize the preformance out of the 340? |
You are EXACTLY right! Clearly I need to pull my head out! <<< much embarrassment >>>
I did say the wrong thing! It is indeed a Poseidon T1 - one of
these.
I'm gonna go back an change my prior posts. Not to cover my tracks, just to keep from confusing anyone with my mistaken information.
And actually I looked long and hard at the different models. The problem I have is that if that spreadsheet is correct, most of the extra power of those other pumps just gets chewed up in drag, and provide only moderate increases in GPH while greatly increasing the power consumption. The T1 (or PS1) gets almost as good performance with lower power. To take advantage of those other pumps I'd have to increase my pipe size from 3/4" to 1". Or at least that's what the spreadsheet shows.
