Maximum Lift
25 feet
Adverse effect of elevation on drafting
Atmospheric pressure is reduced by approx 0.5 psi per 1000ft of elevation
Rule of thumb for pond or small lake adequacy
Every 1 foot of depth for an area of 1 acre will provide 1000 GPM for 5 hours
Steps for cooling pump
1) Open a nozzle on any charged line
2) Open a discharge or bleeder valve
3) Open tank fill
