Default Amiracle overflows

Does anyone know what the flow rate on an amiracle U-tube overflow is?

Thanks

Scott

I remember 600gph for some reason, I have never had more than 450gph go
through my amiracle so I can't be sure. Check some retail site for specs or
find the amiracle homepage, I would like to find the exact answer myself...

you can get a u-tube with a larger diameter or you can add another overflow
box. I am unsure if adding another u-tube to the same box would overpower
the bulkhead drain to the sump, but I have seen a pic somewhere(ages ago)
with two u-tubes in the same overflow box(a single tube amiracle, not a
double overflow box). Let us know what you come up with.

I went to the Amiracle website and it doesn't show any stats for the
overflow. The instructions that came with it don't say either. I remember
600 for some reason to but I'd like to know for sure before I buy a pump. I
think I'll go with 600 just to be safe.

Thanks

Scott

since its a pump question and we are getting various gph here, i have an
older model maybe thats why i am thinking 750....but a mag 7 runs perfect
with mine, a 9.5 will glarg and gurgle to keep up so i installed a ball
valve to dail it back a bit and it works great

It is not a pump question, it is the GPH capacity of an Amiracle overflow
siphon tube.
this is a link to Amiracle contact (email):
http://www.tplastech.com/amiracle/contact.asp
They will give you the answer you seek.
