Transfer Water From Pond to Pond - 02/07/23 12:16 AM
I have been sizing pumps and wanted real world experience. Engineering calculations are never a substitute for the real world. I have a large frac pond that I want to pump water to a newly created duck pond.
• Water is 15-20ft below the suction of the pump
• it is a gradual vertical change from pump outlet to new pond at 20-25 ft
• Length of run from water source to new pond is +\-2200 LF
Below is pump I’m looking at.

I keep crunching the numbers factoring friction loss of water through 220LF of 4” PVC and everything tells me this is more than adequate.
