What You Should Know When Ordering a Pump

Your first concern is to pump water.  Before making that telephone call
to order your pump, there are a number of questions that need to be
answered.  The pump supplier wants to make certain that you get the
pump you need.  Knowing the answers to these questions will make
their job easier and your ordering process much faster - and you'll
know that you have the correct pump for your job.


What is your application?

Describe your pumping application, what is it that you need to do with
the pump


What is the liquid that you are pumping?

If it is water, then describe the condition of the water and if you are
pumping any solids or sand.  Is it hot water?  If it is something other
than water, be very specific about the liquid and its properties.


Are you looking for an approximate flow?

Gallons per minute or per hour


What is the height from the surface of the water you
are pumping from to the pump?


Is there any vertical rise in the discharge hose?

If so, what is the vertical distance from the pump to where the water is
discharging, or the highest point along the discharge hose.


Are you using rubber/PVC water hoses, steel pipe, or
PVC pipe?


There can be more questions, but these few will give you a good start
in getting the correct pump for your job.
