The propeller has two bushings installed that allow the propeller to properly grip the motor's shaft. The first is a rubber boot that goes into the end of the propeller. The second...

The flow rate goes down about 12% for every power level at the selected distance based on the pump's model. Using the graph located in the product page: http://www.coralvue.com/diablo-dc-3500-variable-speed-water-pump (http://www.coralvue.com/diablo-dc-3500-variable-speed-water-pump) You would be able to compute the following: Based on the DC3500 pump curve: At 0 horizontal inches on power level 6 (full power), the pump pushes 924 gph. At 0 horizontal inches on power level 5, it would push a...
