anyone have any experience with the flows of taco 011 pump
what i did was to hook one up in the basement on a old water heater and had a hose keeping the water heater full so the pump was always in water and then it pumped water 90 feet in 1 inch tubing out by the garage I let it run into an ice cream pail which is 5 quarts it comes out to a little more than 2 gal a minute
does this seem right or is this not a good way to check, i should add that there is a spring ball check on the input and the output of pump that was there all of last year this doesn't bother me but just wondering.

Seems low. Off of Taco website, it lists an 0011 pump at Flow Range: 0 – 28 GPM
Head Range: 0 – 30 Feet. If you aren't pumping the water uphill that much, you should be getting more than 2GPM. What size are the check valves? Is the opening in them restricting the flow?

thats what i thought but it don't really matter since it worked last year just wondering if anyone ever tried to see the flow for my use it is better to have this flow since i am running an exchanger with a 6 gal flow

You may want to look at replacing the pump with a smaller one if you only need 6GPM. The 0011 is rated at 1.76A while the 007 is .71A. If you run the pump 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in one month at $0.10 per KwH, you would save over $8.50. You can purchase a 007 online for a pretty reasonable price. Just one way to maybe save some $$$$.
