A friend of mine has a creek that he has diverted into a small pond that he dug (approx. 15' diameter by 6' deep). He pumps up hill from there (it think it's about 30-40 ft. lift) to his lake. In the lake, there is another pump which pumps to a waterfall on one end of the lake. Both pumps are on the fritz.
I'm headed over there now to get pipe sizes and measure the lift from the pond so I can ask you nice folk to help me get the right pump for him.
The supplied voltage at the pond is 240V AC on a 30Amp circuit, with the waterfall pump on 120V 20Amp circuit and I don't want to change that as I have recently repaired all the electric and install switches for each pump. Also, clogging is an issue. He currently has the pumps sitting on the bottom. I tried to raise them up so ithey're not in the mud, as each is suspended from a bridge, (man is it heavy) but I think we need to rethink the config. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
