I have a 3/4 HP pump on my pool, and I bought a flow meter to see what

You bought a flowmeter for your pool? My "flow meter" is a 5-gallon

bucket
and a stopwatch.


So how do you pump water in the bucket under the same head pressure as the
returns? My returns are under 18" of water and the wasteline has much less
resistance than the returns. The flow meter was only $50 and is always
there. Only mistake was putting it before the filter and it clogs
occasionally.
