About Gallon per hour (GPH)
A US flow-rate unit for slow/metered flows. Used on aquarium pumps, water-feature recirculators, irrigation drip emitters, oil burners, fuel-dispensing meters, and some industrial dosing equipment. Boat fuel-flow meters also report fuel consumption in GPH, a useful figure for cruising range calculations.
About Gallon per minute (GPM)
A US customary flow-rate unit (US gallons per minute) used in plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and swimming-pool circulation. GPM is the primary US sizing unit for residential water softeners, well pumps, sprinkler systems, and NFPA-standard fire-protection systems. A typical US showerhead is 2–2.5 GPM; a 4-inch fire hydrant can deliver 500–1,500 GPM. 1 GPM ≈ 3.785 L/min.
