measured my compartment and it is 24w 22d 48 L then 69 L at about 12 high so i still have 24w x 12d x 19l of space to fill in front of the bag
Hey doc, are you sure you are getting 1100 lbs in that bag?
JABSCO pump, 540 GPH (gallons per hour) / 60 = 9 GPM (gallons per minute)
1100 LB sac, 8.33 / 1100 = 132 gallons of water
9 GPM / 132 = 14.6 minutes to completely fill that bag
If you fill at 9 GPM for 10 minutes (9 x 10 = 90 gallons x 8.33 = 749 lbs) it gives you approximately 750 pounds of water which is what I currently have in my locker (750's). Only asking because I was considering getting the 1100 but wanted to make sure it is actually taking in more weight than the 750's.
Was just curious because you mentioned it was coming out the overflow, but possibly JABSCO under rates there pumps? or your bag may not be completely full?
good question fman, I do know that i can fill a 22.5 litre bucket in 30-32 seconds. so lets say 45 litres in 1 minute or 450 in 10. Alitre of water weight 2.205 lbs. so in 10 mins is 992.25.......so you are right i only have about 950 to 990 lbs not 1100.
here is the bucket video, plus its pumping up and over my hull but i think its a moot point

so is it really an 1100 lb bag or was it 150 lbs short? it was pretty close to full look at the end of the video,but was there air in it...possibly.... hmmmmmmmm
my calculations of a 24x24x50 rectangle will yield 1040.76 lbs. im sure that due to space restrictions that i didnt have that much 900 -970 is prob what i had. which i am ok with. also depends if its US gallons or Imperial gallons on your calcs a wee bit . a us gallon is ~3.785 litres a Imperial gallon is 4.546 litres
actually fman , i just measured it its only about 22x22...hmmmmm, thought it should have filled compartment more
Doc,
Just the fact you are getting more than 9GPM out of the JABSCO is amazing. Like I said, the Tsunami 800's are rated at 13.5 GPM but I am only getting about 10 GPM. Its rare to find a pump that actually puts out more GPM's than they are rated at, usually its the other way around.
