The way I see it, if I tee off a pump(any pump) the flow coming from either end of the tee would be half of what the flow is straight from the pump...correct?

You did ask this question did you not?

He gave you the correct answer and some free advice, why the hostility?

What is so secret about an OEM pump, I am going to guess that this is an Emerson replacement.

The so called hostility stems from the jerk comment he made at the beginning of the post....I was merely responding to mykas post.

Theres nothing secret about the pump...its just not what the thread was about, and I have no interest in explaining anything more about the pump,and you are incorrect on the emerson replacement? what ever that means.

Never did I say I wasnt grateful for the head pressure calculation. I still have a hard time believing all that when I see how much loss I get from the pumps I run right now....for example....quiet one 4000HH claims 800GPH @ 6'....but on my return to my tank after 6' up and 2 elbows the flow is minimal. I guarantee I am not even getting 400GPH right now.

In order to get the best you can from any pump you need to maximize pipe diameters, every little helps, sometimes seeing is believing and unless you have done testing it is hard to believe, try running your return pump into a container and based on time and gallons do the math.

Here is what is hard to believe.

Since the birth of Christ, a Trillion seconds have not yet passed, ... do the math.
