How much flow do the Eheim 1260/1262 have at 4'?

[rykwong]

I currently have a mag 7 and thinking about changing the pump to an eheim but I'm not sure how much flow the 1260 has at 4'. The mag 7 has around 480gph. Would I need the 1262? Thanks!

the calculator actually doesnt have the eheim 1260/1262 - so that link wont be very useful. What I did when i wanted to find out the flow was email eheim direct and as k - give it a shot.

Rich, when I asked Eheim this question a while back they said the 1260 has an output of 410 gph @ 4 feet without any restrictions (elbows, valves). The 1262 has a base output of 780 gph @ 4 feet. If you are looking for a 1262 let me know.

Looks like the the 1262 will put around 800gph at 4'. hard to tell what the rating is for the 1260, looks to be in the 450gph range. HTH
