I picked up the unit at Blue Sierra Exotic Fish & Supply in Issaquah WA, which is 15 min. East of dwntwn Seattle. With the exchange I paid $62 Ca.
Your LG would run no problem, as the rates are 50 gph min and 1400 max at a max of 5 psi.
As for back pressure, this is the statement right out of the manual "coupled with unique and patent pending free flow, low back pressure features, this compact product is the best mechanical current generating device available on the market today". Time will tell I guess, this unit works great today-in the future I hope too :!: .
So you couldn't resist eh Adam
Yeah I saw that look in your eyes 8) when we were checking them out at the store. I'm interested to know how much faster yours switches compared to mine. I will take a reading
of the switching speed then post it later. I will start the reading when the right side stops and stop as soon as the left is up to full flow. I'm guessing that it's around 6-9 seconds but I will find out for sure when I find my stopwatch. Adam how much did you pay for it here :?:
Yeah Brad I'm thinking the same :twisted: , it's just that who wants to buy one, then risk damaging it when it works so great :!: I'm sure it's some type of water wheel with two channels cut into it, and as it turns slowly it forces the water through one of the open channels :? just my guess though
