Can some one break down in kindergarten language how this works?

If you have one gallon tank and you want it to turn over 10x an hour you need a pump rated for 10 gph

Also if you are talking about a return pump for a sump, you need to make sure that the pump is rated lower at the return height then your overflow box.
