Will this pump work with this nozzle? We often get asked will this pump work with that nozzle? The pump You tell us the specifications of the pump
The Nozzle You want a j63 burst nozzle To reach a jet height of 3m (10 feet) the j63 burst nozzle requires 90 LPM (at 3m) Missing How high do you want the water jet to be. This is important because if the pump is too small you will never achieve the required jet height. Each nozzle has a water demand is your pump up to the task? Each pump has a flow graph Below is a typical flow graph
From the graph we see that at 14 feet head, the pump will supply 25 litres / minute From the graph we also see that at 1 foot head the pump will supply 120 litres / minute So you can see that although the maximum flow of the pump is 120 LPM at 10 feet the flow rate is only 60 LPM, which is 30 LPM short of what is required, and as you can not turn a small pump up, the pump is not suitable for this jet at this height. But without the flow graph you would not know that. But we always check the pump flow graph when selecting a pump for you. It is also similar for "your nozzle and our pump" Please note: All the names and figures we made up for illustration purposes only, but the principal is true. This is also only the basic principal of what is involved. |
