Bilge pumps flow rate

Hi people,
I wonder if someone knows in which gallons (British, US) manufacturers express the flow rate (GPH) of pumps.
Thanks

Much more interesting is the pump sellers rate there GPH with no head.

In otherwords not lifting the water a single inch.

There is far more to dewatering than a paper spec.

I guess this depends on the location of the manufacturer! If the 0.7 liter is so important, as the manufacturer! Or assume British gallons, than you're on the save side!


BTW, Fast Freddy is right! Pressure head can be pretty important!
