Getting the right pump involves specific hydraulic calculations to prevent under-sizing or over-specification. Experts evaluate several key parameters: [1, 2]
Flow Rate: Determining the required volume (e.g., m³/h or L/min) to meet household taps or irrigation demands.
Head & Distance: Calculating the suction lift, elevation gain, and friction loss through pipework.
Power Source: Deciding between electric (submersible or booster) or fuel-powered (diesel/petrol) depending on your setup. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
