Does a motor marketed as 7hp produce 7 times the water flow of a 1hp pump?
No, horse power ratings on motors are not proportional with water flow and are some times misleading as they are not the true working horse power but the motors break down horse power that if achieved, would cause the motor to fail. The Horse power rating of a motor refers more to the energy consumption required to operate the motor. At H2O spas we strive to provide the optimum water flow using the least horse power because we know this to be the most energy efficient and environmentally responsible solution.
