How much water can a 2 HP pump move?

Number of submersible well pump stages determine pump lift capacity

Table of Submersible Pump Stages vs HP vs Total Dynamic Head vs. GPM Flow Rate Capacity
Water Pump HP Nr. of Pump Stages GPM Flow Rate Capacity
1 HP 8 4 – 40 GPM (varies by TDH)
1 1/2 HP 11 4 – 40 GPM (varies by TDH)
2 HP 14 4 – 42 GPM (varies by TDH)

How do I choose a pump size?

The steps to follow to select a centrifugal pump are:

  1. Determine the flow rate. To size and select a centrifugal pump, first determine the flow rate.
  2. Determine the static head.
  3. Determine the friction head.
  4. Calculate the total head.
  5. Select the pump.

How is pump work calculated?

The work performed by the pump is equal to the weight of liquid pumped in Unit time multiplied by total Head in meters.

How many gallons per minute does a 1 HP pool pump?

52 GPM
From this chart, you can see that a 1 horsepower pump (the green curve) will give you 52 GPM flow on a system with 64 feet of head.

What is the flow rate of a pump?

Volume flow rate (Q), also referred to as capacity, is the volume of liquid that travels through the pump in a given time (measured in gallons per minute or gpm). It defines the rate at which a pump can push fluid through the system.

What is pump capacity?

Pump capacity is a term used to define the flow rate through a pump at its designed conditions. It describes the volume of liquid that is allowed to travel through the pump in a given time. Based on this definition, pump capacity is expressed as fluid volume per unit time.

How many GPH is a 1.5 HP pump?

Pool Pump Operating Costs

Pump Size GPM (varies with plumbing) Cost/Hour
0.5 HP 40 $0.03
1.0 HP 60 $0.06
1.5 HP 68 $0.09
2.0 HP 76 $0.12

Which is better 2×100% or 3×50% pumps?

Failing that I’d probably favour 3x 50% pumps if 50% was a useable flow which allowed plant operation at reduced output. Balance-of-plant drives tend to be on shared services with the capability to affect more than one generating unit, so the greater the redundancy the better.

How many pumps are needed in a system?

Of course there is a relation. Given a required flow capacity of the system = Q , then 3 x 50% means you will have 3 pumps, each with a capacity of Q/2. Thus only 2 pumps will be operating when at full capacity; one will be stopped in case of malfunction of one of the other two.

What is the system curve for a centrifugal pump?

The higher the flow, the greater the head required (see Figure 4-9). The shape of the system curve depends on the type of system being considered. The system curve equation for a typical single outlet system such as in Figure 2-10 is: HP = F EQH v(q) +∆ TS The system curve is superimposed on the pump performance chart.

How to determine the impeller size of a centrifugal pump?

Determine the impeller size. The impeller size will be approximately 8.75″. The dashed line represents the performance curve of the pump. The pump can only operate on its performance curve. The system can only be run somewhere on the system curve. The intersection of these two defines the operating point which is the only point that the pump
