Choosing the Right Tubing Size
Proper tubing diameter prevents pressure loss and ensures your pump operates efficiently. Use this chart to match your pump's maximum flow rate to the correct tubing size:
| Maximum Pump Flow Rate (GPH) | Required Tubing Diameter |
| 300 | 1/2" |
| 720 | 3/4" |
| 1,200 | 1" |
| 2,000 | 1-1/4" |
| 3,000 | 1-1/2" |
| 4,800 | 2" |
Why Size Matters
Undersized tubing creates friction loss, reducing flow rate and forcing your pump to work harder. Oversized tubing wastes space and cost. This 1" size works best for pumps rated between 1,000–1,500 GPH. Always consult a friction loss chart for your specific installation distance and elevation changes.
