    Centrifugal Pump - Priming

    Cheers little inch and Pierre, definitely didn’t have the right keyword - vertical cantilever pump has brought up a whole bunch of results. Appreciate the help from both of you!

    Centrifugal Pump - Priming

    Hi LittleInch, I think my research has been fairly comprehensive - they typically top out at 35-40m of head. Just so we're on the same page, the Ruhrpumpen VSP is the style I have tried to find. Cheers!

    First post, so please go easy! I'd like to hear your thoughts on my mechanical design conundrum. The short story - can an end suction centrifugal pump volute be left underwater to maintain prime? I'm looking to design a pump pontoon for pumping industrial wastewater, which may have some solids...
