  how does the hybrid pumps work it list 2 dif gph id it an adjustment or what thank you for your time and info

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Don,
  Great question. The hybrid pumps actually come with two different impellers that are both compatible with the same motor. So if you install the snapper impeller you will get the flow/results for the snapper specifications and if you install the Dart impeller you will get the dart flow/results. The pump comes with both impellers in the box.

  At the maximum head pressure do you get the maximum GPH listed. I have an 11 foot vertical head and need to have around 3000 to 3200 head pressure at that point.

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey David,
  Great question. Head pressure and flow rates work on a curve. The maximum flow rate is the maximum, so that will be without any resistance (ie headpressure). As the head pressure increases the flow will decrease.
  
  With the snapper impeller installed the flow would be at about 300gph. If you need 3000gph at 11ft of head pressure, it would be the barracuda/hammerhead hybrid pump that you would want, with the barracuda impeller installed.
