HOW TO SELECT THE CORRECT PUMP FOR YOUR FOUNTAIN NOZZLE/NOZZLES
To select the correct pump for your fountain please follow the steps below
- Select the nozzle pattern desired
- Select the height (or diameter) desired for the nozzle
- Look at the chart to determine the GPM (or G) and Head (H) required for the nozzle.
- The pump you choose must have the required GPH flow at the HEAD indicated in order to achieve that size display.
- The GPM flow at specific HEAD heights will be indicated in the manual or advertising for the pump in question
TIP #1 - for multiple nozzles multiply the GPM required by the total number of nozzles desired. It is not necessary to increase the HEAD when adding multiple nozzles.
Tip #2 - If the pump you are viewing indicates flow in GPH (gallons per hour) instead of GPM (gallons per minute) you can divide by 60. 900 GPH equals 15 GPM.
Tip #3 - Try to select a pump that is slightly more powerful than required to allow for errors in calculation
Tip #4 - All charts assume pump to be positioned at or near the nozzles. If the distance between pump and nozzle/ nozzles is greater than 10 foot additional HEAD will need to be factored in.
