You could check with your city if they have a water district. At the jet, the increase in water velocity creates the partial vacuum that draws standing well water into the second pipe and then back into the pump and plumbing system. Deep- well jet pumps use both the suction at the jet to bring water into the system and pressure applied by the impeller to lift the water.
A deep- well submersible pump uses a pressure tank to draw water through a single pipe connecting the inside well to the home.
A submersible pump can extract water from depths up to feet, but it must be pulled from the well casing for repairs. How high can a jet pump lift water? The pump at ground level acts as the source of vacuum and has a theoretical lifting capability of about 30 feet It would lift 34 feet if it could create a perfect vacuum. In practice, 25 feet is all you should design a centrifugal or jet pump to lift in order to have adequate capacity left for water usage.
Can submersible pumps run horizontally? Submersible pump applications They can be fitted horizontally in a particular location in the pipe, rather than vertically. They are ideal for use in this type of environment, as they are virtually silent whilst in operation and the motor and electrical components are enclosed to prevent any damage from the fluid.
How deep can a windmill pull water? Additional savings can be realized by not needing the largest pipe size all the way up the hill. Progressively smaller pipe or hose sizes can be used since smaller flows will be needed progressively as you get farther up the hill.
Since diesel or natural gas are your most practical energy sources, it seems likely that one engine-generator can serve all of the pumps with each pump probably being 2 hp or less. Most likely, the lowest and largest pump will need to be a self-priming type to draw the water from the river, but all of the remaining pumps need not be self-priming since they can be situated beneath the intermediate tanks.
Simple float level switches can be used to keep the intermediate pumps from running when their intermediate supply tank water levels are too low. Similarly, float level switches can be used to stop the supplying pump when the tank water level becomes too high. If you use intermediate pools or ponds instead of intermediate tanks, then most likely the intermediate pumps will need to be self-priming type. Also, suction strainers would be needed at each stage if intermediate ponds are used.
Since each of these pumps are really quite small, none will require any elegant foundation. I would presume using direct-coupled pumps and motors so that no fancy alignment work will be needed on site. I would want to consider using glued-joint PVC pipe for most of the piping needs since it is both easily assembled and relatively inexpensive. If the engine-generator can be expected to be operated for a significant portion of its operating time at relatively light loadings, I would want to pay close attention to the diesel engine's relatively better part-load efficiency as a possible means of reducing fuel costs.
Of course this all has to be done within financial considerations unknown utilising reasonable engineering practices at this stage all airy - fairy with long term reliability. Until such times the OP can commit to something concrete in terms of flow required heads involved, site access and all other considerations we are spinning wheels.
Gives us a plan of action etc and pumps can be selected and sized in a few minutes. Sheccid, Option 1:Horizontal single-suction multi-stage sectional-type centrifugal pump e. Option 2:Deep well submersible pump e. Option 3:water pump in series. Shessid, I would currently stick to plan A as it allows you to access both sides of your quite steep hill. You won't get Solar or a windmill to do that.
This would need something like a 2" or 4" pipe. If you use RTP reeled pipe you should find stuff which handles this pressure approx. However I think you're looking at higher spec pumps than you need. There are much more "agricultural" skid mounted units available at a fraction of the cost of chemical pumps. As artisi says, there are a lot of things you need to determine before you start selecting a pump - that's the easy bit. Remember that, if you use a single pump, your pipe or hose must be capable of withstanding the total pressure, that's going to be something in the range of psig.
I think you'll have to do it in two stages, even using something like a vertical can style multistage like the Goulds eSV series, or the Grundfos equivalent , for 20 gpm, you're probably limited to ft head roughly.
It was probably all too hard or all too confusing for what the OP thought was a simple problem - information overload. Hello all, first of all, Thank you all for your replies and sharing the knowledge! I have not gotten a pump yet. I'm currently looking into building or buying a RAM Pump, I had seen some vids about it and one of you guys kindly mention it as well.
First a water source tank elevated around 10 meters at a meter distance from the pump. I would definitely come back and let you know the final outcome. To use a ram pump you need a flowing water supply, they cannot be used on a static storage tank. Agreed Artisi but he can pump to the first level then as he irrigates from that level down use that flow to pump to the next stage up.
Of course, it is a diminishing return situation. I can see it now 12 rams in the river feeding a tank, feeding 8 rams, feeding a tank, feeding 5 rams, etc, etc. Be very interesting to hear 12 rams running next to each other in the creek! Sheccid,,This might seem obvious, but there's no such thing as free energy or perpetual motion. Many of the Ram pumps seen so far need a few metres of fall to work.
Hence for your creek you probably will need to build a small dam and then several metres of large diameter pipe so you don't lose too much in the flow down to your pump. Then for every multiple of your initial fall say 5m , you need to flow that flow into the pump.

The shallow well jet pumps draw water from one line situated in wells no deeper than a maximum of 25 feet deep. Deep well jet pumps use two lines, one for pulling the water , and one for pushing the water into the delivery system.
Deep well jet pumps can pump water from wells that range from 25 to feet deep. Measure the diameter of the fountain spout with a tape measure. You will be calculating the gallons per hour, or GPH, by multiplying the diameter by However, The reason is because your question relies on vacuum pumps using atmospheric pressure to do the heavy lifting.
However, there is almost no limit to the height you can pump water using positive pressure. The water will boil due to low pressure. The farthest you can suck up water is about 30 ft. The specs indicate that it can pull water up 26 ft. It can push water up more than ft vertical.
