Flow Rate (GPH) by Wattage
| Wattage | Max GPH (Clarification, ~30,000 µW/cm²) — green-water control | Min GPH (Sterilization, ~90,000 µW/cm²) — parasite + bacteria kill |
|---|---|---|
| 800 W | 35,000 GPH | 11,667 GPH |
Sizing rule: divide your filtered circulation rate (GPH) by the column you need. Pick a unit whose Max GPH ≥ your circulation rate to achieve clarification dose; pick a unit whose Min GPH ≥ your circulation rate to achieve full sterilization dose at that flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Viper 800 W vs 1200 W — when do I size up?
Step up to 1200 W if your circulation rate exceeds 8,000 GPH for sterilization-grade dose, or if pond volume exceeds ~20,000 gallons heavily-stocked koi. The 800 W handles most large ornamental ponds and small aquaculture grow-out systems.
