Peter,

I'm surprised you say the 500GPH only puts out a trickle. I have an Attwood
500 and I can't imagine needing more. I like to sneak up on the
unsuspecting, fill my cockpit and give them a thorough dousing.
Perhaps the Australian definition of a trickle differs from the proper
American English definition!!!
Here a pic of my stream!

G'Day,

I'm impressed by the speed and spectacular jet of water coming from a
friends
1000 GPH 12Volt Rule pump, compared with the paltry trickle produced by the
500 GPH 12Volt version.

Question

Would a 500 GPH 12 Volt Rule pump use more, less or the same energy/battery
capacity to empty a cockpit than a 1000GPH 12Volt Rule pump.

All the best, PeterO
