Size Matters!
Pump size determines well diameter. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!

How it works
1. Each combination of a chamber with an impeller is referred to as a “stage” or “bowl”
2. Each stage adds lift to the pump
3. The impellers are directly connected to the motor which creates flow.
4. As with all variable displacement pumps: flow rate is inversely related to the head pressure.

Pump Parameters
Q: So what determines the necessary size of the pump?
A: Flow rate & the amount of lift required.
1. Flow Rate: Make sure the aquifer is capable of supporting your desired flow rate. Do you have any pump test data? Why not?
2. Lift: Submersible pumps do not build pressure. They provide lift which overcomes head pressure, which is measured in feet.
The head pressure against which a submersible pump operates is referred to as…
TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD (TDH)

Friction Loss
Q: How do I quantify friction loss?
Friction Loss is a result of water’s resistance to flow.
It’s affected by…
• Flow Rate
• Pipe diameter and type
• Number and type of fittings and valves
A: Darcy-Weisbach equation:
Hf = ∆p/γ = f (L/D)x(V/2g)
Or you can just look it up!

Pump Selection
Q: So I know my flow rate and system TDH. Now what?
A: Start shopping!
1. Pump suppliers publish pump curves for all the various models. Select your flow range…
2. They also provide “easy selection charts” which are just pump curves for several models of pumps in a table format.

Worksheet: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pumps! How to size a pump:
1. What is required/desired flow (GPM)
2. Determine TDH
3. Consult Pump Curve(s)
4. Select wire size
![Page 15: 2013-Pump Sizing With Exercises r1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050908/55cf9755550346d033910eff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How to size a pump:
What is required/desired flow? 5 GPM
Determine TDH
First, let’s calculate friction loss!
Friction loss = total length X friction loss (straight pipe) factor + friction loss (fittings)
Friction loss = (_____’ X _____’/_____’) + (__’ X __)
Friction loss = _____’ + _____’
Friction loss = _____’ Head Pressure
Now we can calculate TDH!
TDH = pumping level + vertical rise + friction loss
TDH = _____’ + _____’ + _____’
TDH = _____’
Now that we know the TDH and required/desired flow, we can select a pump from a performance curve.
Which 4” pump/motor combination will deliver 5 GPM at the calculated TDH?

How to size a pump:
What is required/desired flow? 5 GPM
Determine TDH
First, let’s calculate friction loss!
Friction loss = total length X friction loss (straight pipe) factor + friction loss (fittings)
Friction loss = ( 922 ’ X 1.8 ’/ 100 ’) + ( 3 ’ X 2 ) (1.8’/100’)
Friction loss = 16.60 ’ + .108 ’
Friction loss = 17 ’ Head Pressure
Now we can calculate TDH!
TDH = pumping level + vertical rise + friction loss
TDH = 500 ’ + 222 ’ + 17 ’
TDH = 739 ’
Now that we know the TDH and required/desired flow, we can select a pump from a performance curve.

Power Requirements
Q: I’ve selected my pump. Am I done yet?
A: Not quite. Your pump needs electricity to work.
If there’s no power on site, you need to spec a generator:
• Most submersible pumps with 5HP or less are 230V/single phase. You’ll need 1.5kW per motor HP So…a 5HP pump needs a minimum of 7.5kW
You also need to spec the right power cable
• PVC flat-jacketed wire is the most common. It typically comes in 500’ rolls, but can be custom ordered to length.
• The gauge of the wire is a function of your operating voltage and length.

Maintenance & Repair
Q: It’s been two years and the bowls are worn out on my submersible pump. What do I do?
A: Go back in time and design a better well screen and filter pack.
A: Okay, you’ll have to pull the pump. Go ahead and hire someone with a well service rig. DON’T TRY IT YOURSELF!
• Well professionals have the right kind of equipment to pull a submersible pump without damaging the drop pipe, power cable and pump itself.
• You don’t.

Maintenance & Repair Q: My pump just stopped working.
What happened?
A: A lot of things could be the problem, but a common issue is motor burn-out.
• If water doesn’t flow around the motor housing on its way to the intake, the motor isn’t being cooled properly. This can lead to overheating.
• Set your pump above your screen interval but below your dynamic pumping level so water comes from below.
• If conditions preclude this design, consider a shroud.
