depends on the pump size...and the venturi size. theyre easy to make and experiment with. i have a video on youtube on making one for under $2.00.
and a demo...
sorry the videos are great but i think you'll get the drift... smaller pumps will require smaller pipe. you want a faster, higher pressure to the flow.

Harbor freight is a ponders secret. Those pumps are though and cheap. I ran a 370 all winter on the bottom of my pond. It was still running in the spring and I had temps here in February of 28 below.

I was wondering about their energy useage but hadn't had time to look yet. I figured there was catch...

Oh and yes I do have a filter that uses a venturi. Good stuff.
