pumps

Best solution you buy it.

i want to buy apump 2000imp galls my head is 1.2 m from outlet it s lenth is 4m 1half inch welded pipe all pipe work from outlet is flat its the price of the pump if i mention koi the pump goes up 100 pounds so i am looking at other optoins but seem to get no real advice as to where to puchase the same pump is used for many other uses but cheaper notgoing though koi outlet

For the best advice have to specify US or Imperial Gal and the hight and delivery pipe size and length.

Your best bet would be to visit a hardware shop. A swimming pool pump or smaller may do the job.

For only abstracting surface water only you may have to make a floating weir (to prevent the pump from running dry with changing water level).

Post this at Meachanical Engg section too,..guys there will love to answer this one...

Here one factor ( Head) is to be known....how many meters do you have to send the water.

Your flow is 7.5 m3/hr (assuming 2000 USgph) and if you have to send it say 50 meters then you will require a 1.5 hp centrifugal pump.

Now as your head (50 m) comes down the hp will reduce.

Cheers.

That equates to just over 2 ltrs/sec. What do you consider to be low wattage?

$160! 200Watts! 2000G/h! The boy done good! I'd make sure before you buy it that it is 200Watts and 2000G/h! Sounds too good to be true!
