Mine takes about a minute (never actually timed or measured it) to fill a
liter tea kettle.  My original pump was considerable faster, but still not
nearly 7L/min.

|Subject: bilge pump as fresh water pump replacement
|
|I put in an inexpensive (24 bucks Can) bilge pump as a
|replacement for an ailing stock freshwater pump. It is rated
|at 400 gph at 3 ft. The stock pump had "7 litres" moulded on
|the housing and I wonder if that is litres/min?
|
|If that is so, then 7 l/m = 420 l/hr
|
|400 gph = 1,514 l/h, or 25 l/m (US gal)
|
|So it seems that the bilge pump would pump more/better. But to
|tell the truth, it didn't "seem" much better. But it works all
|the time as opposed to the baulky old stock one.
