we all have about the head height here.
Just take a 5 gallon bucket time how many gallons are returned off the panels.
99% of pool or solar companies just take a guess,
if you saw my small pump you would be surprised it draws only 375 watts and pump 5 panels.
Agree 6-8 hours works well, you want to turn you water 3 times a day.

We had the same issue with our three waterfalls. Given the length of our run, the pump running at 55% did not have enough power to run all three falls, even reducing/limiting the return. It had to be bumped up to 100%. i suppose we could find a happy medium, between 55 and 100, same as for the solar, but for the infrequent amount that we use either feature, its not worth it.
