I went ahead and got the GPM for this place. I took three readings.

38 Seconds per true 5 gallons of water
42 Seconds per true 5 gallons of water
40 Seconds per true 5 gallons of water

Now the math... I see it posted somewhere here.
So you are putting out about 15 gallons a minute.

Now here is something else to think/worry about.
Make sure you dont toss out so much water you kill you supply to the house while it is on.
A fact is water will take the path of least resistance just like electricity.
Give yourself about 1/2 of that water to be on the safe side.
