RC's Head Loss calculator (not working)

[NEK-ap24]

I am not sure if this is the right place to announce a problem I am having with the Head Loss Calculator on the RC home page.

It doesn't load any pumps to select, and no matter what restrictions you add, it spits out the result of whatever you entered as the verticle component.

E.G. (if I input the following)
12 ' Verticle
40' Horizontal
1.5" pipe
(won't allow a pump selection, I have a Mag 18)
4 - 90 degree elbows
3 - 45 degree elbows
0 gate valves
1 ball valves
2 union/couplings
0 check valves
1 exit
1 entrance

(I get the answer of.....12' feet of head pressure or 5.19PSI.) after 13 iterations of calculation. [I wish this were true...but alas it is more]

Could someone else please try to input these numbers with a mag 18, and let me know the results...

If others are able to select a pump, I know the issue is with my PC, perhaps a Java problem?

If others are not able to select a pump and get the same issue...then could an RC admin. guy please troubleshoot and fix the calculator. (or move this to the appropriate location, if its in the wrong spot.)

Thanks very much in advance.

Happy Reefing.

5.45 psi od head
629.27 gph of flow
1.65 ft/sec velocity

Thank you Jack,

I suspect, the lack of my being able to select a pump is the cause of the error then. I have had some Java issues with my computer, and perhaps that is why I can't see anything under the pump selection.

Thanks again for checking that for me.

I had the same problem with the one on the home page but I have a version of it that is stand alone.

Any possibility of sharing where that stand alone one came from? I cant get the home page to work with updated java or anything I can try.

This is the one I use.

There are others online that are not for download but this one works for what pumps are on it.

Worked perfect. Thanks!
