The least scientific way would be to stick them in a tub next to each other and see if the flow is about the same. Beyond that, maybe someone else can chime in. I think the 5 and 7 are the same size.

physically they are the same size, what is different is the impeller, and the internal magnet.

It's actually just 4 screws and an O ring if you open them.
Make sure the outputs are facing sideways in the tup at first or you may end up wiping water off the ceiling.

If you have a piece of hose the diameter of the pump outlet you could either empty or fill a bucket whose volume you know and use the time it takes to empty/fill to calculate the gph. Just put the pump with the hose attached in a stoppered sink with water or a bucket filled with water and pump into an empty bucket. See how long it takes to fill to a particular level. For instance, if it takes 10 seconds to pump two gallons into the empty bucket then in 1 hour (3600 seconds) it would pump (3600/10)*2 = 720gallons. Of course you would take the regular precautions to make sure the pump doesn't run dry, or have the plug contact water. Btw, my friends complain that they can never understand me.

Let's say:

If P then Q
Now does it make sense?

I know!! That's why I leave teaching to professionals! lol! Basically, if it pumps out two gallons in 10 seconds you calculate how many gallons it will pump out in an hour. That will give you the gph for the pump. That won't make it any clearer though!
