So if you need to pump, say, 200 gph at 72", you will most likely need about a 300-600 gallon per hour pump to do the job.

"GPH" : Gallons per hour, generally rated at various heights

"GPM" : Gallons per minute, usually rated at diverse heights

"Pump Curve" : The amount of water volume "curved" according to numerous heights. A 500 gallon per hour pump, for instance, might pump 500 gallons per hour at " lift, 350 gallons per hour at 24" of lift, and so forth.
