The laws of physics dictate that there is an increased energy cost for a speedier and more spectacular jet of water.

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
