Pumping from the surface, be it a Pond, Stream or other ground level source uses a special type of pump.
Size your Surface Pump by selecting Vertical Lift (dynamic head), and Flow Rate such as Gallons Per Minute GPM.
The depth choices (Feet) are 80 ft, 120 ft, 160 ft, 200 ft, 240 ft, 280 ft, 320 ft, 360 ft, 400 ft, 480 ft, 560 ft, 640 ft, 720 ft, 800 ft, 880 ft, and 960 feet.
Designed for use with Solar PV Panels.
Surface pumps are usually less expensive than Subersible pumps for this purpose, and a Surface Pump is not submersible. The Surface pump draws water from a tank, spring, or river and can Push it far uphill and through a long pipeline to fill a storage tank.
Or, the Surface Pump can be used to provide pressure for a Home Village or Livestock. In physics all pumps are better at Pushing than Pulling and the surface pump takes full advantage.
When you place your surface pump be no higher than 20 feet above your source of water. If you use suction plumbing oversize it and assure no air entrapment (much like a drain line), and be as short as possible.
Reduced power system cost by 25-75% compared to centrifugal or AC pumps.
Proven design with a 20 year life expecttancy.
