Average Water Consumption
Height difference between the pump and the highest point of use
Hs
Pressure already available at the pump level (tank example with
positive suction head). If you pump water under the level of the
pump (well, river, underground tank), contact your Dealer in order
to calculate the suction lift and to select the right pump.
Hf
Friction loss or pipe resistance to water flow (see chart below for
Poly Pipe friction loss)
Pr
Residual pressure, ie the required pressure at the tap, shower or
sprinkler. As a guide, shower head, standard ½” tap or sprinkler
requires approx. 150 kPa (15 m or 21 psi)
