Selecting a water pump

By HHECC Editorial Team

Pump selection requires more than choosing a motor rating. Water demand, elevation difference, pipe length, friction losses and available power determine the required operating conditions. For boreholes, reliable yield and pumping water level are also important inputs. A hydraulic assessment helps match the pump and pipeline to the intended application.
