Flow Rate (GPH) by Wattage

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
Why pay the SS premium over plastic?
316 SS handles saltwater, brackish, direct UV exposure, and chemical environments where plastic cracks or yellows over time. If the unit lives indoors / sheltered, the plastic Viper saves cost without performance compromise.
