Here is the question I posed to Hagen's customer service dept:
"Do you have any data as to what happens if I take an impeller for an AquaClear 50 and put it in a 70? Does it provide the same flow as a 50, or a little higher since the flow is not as restricted in the bigger box? Have you any data on other combinations of impeller/box?"
Here is their response:
"The aqua clear 20, 30, 50, and 70 all have the same motor. They all provide the same flow."
I don't even know how to respond to that. Do I really need to point out to them that the 20 and the 70 clearly do NOT provide the same flow rates, according to their own literature??
