I think I can figure that out now, thanks for your help and time.
Looks like a good 2 HP pump with a high head will not have a problem forcing 180 GPM through the 2 inch diameter plastic pipe for a distance of 50 feet and a vertical lift of about 20 feet.
That's about the volume I want to have...
Not planning ahead...LOL.
I went ahead and purchased a roll of 2 inch tubing (100 feet) and cut it into 2 lengths of 50 feet, thinking I was going to have a T-split from the pump and use both pipes for the run on a single self-priming pump. I have since had a change of mind and I will be buying...
Hi,
I'm just a guy that is making a large pond with a waterfall feature.
I want to force the max amount of water into a 2 inch diameter pvc pipe.
PSI, friction and all else are not an issue, as I can buy very big pumps that are able to pump water at a rate of over 15000 GPH at a head of 35 feet...
