Head loss question

[JLopez]

I lost my head...What do I do?

J/k, bad joke. Does anyone know where I can find a chart that would tell me the head loss on an Eheim compact 1000? It's rated at 265 gph and I need to know what it would push at 4.5 feet. I tried the head loss calculator on RC but it doesnt have the eheim compact pumps on there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would say not much. I use one of these for my WC pump and it comes 2.5 feet out of my brute without much loss. If you're using it for that WC I wouldn't worry much about it. It might take an extra 5 minutes to fill the sump

At one time I know there was a calculator somewhere out there that let you enter the parameters and figure out the head loss. That's how I figured my head loss for my 1262.

I think this is the calculator, but I didn't see the Compact 1000 on it... http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/hlc2.php

From what i was able to find online they put out 40gph at their max of 6.7' so i would guess around 70-90 at 4.5'
