  1. Figure average daily water consumption by using the following guidelines: 
2. Divide average daily water consumption by 5 to arrive at equivalent hourly pumping capacity required from your mill. This is based on wind conditions permitting your mill to pump the equivalent of about 5 hours of rated capacity per day. Naturally, this varies by locality. 3. Choose the cylinder diameter that is closest to the equivalent hourly pumping capacity by using the Table of Capacities (click for PDF). 4. Figure the total pumping elevation from the water level in the well to the point of discharge. 5. Choose the size mill to operate the cylinder when pumping to the total elevation by using the Table of Capacities (click for PDF). 6. Choose a tower that will place the center of the wheel at least 15 feet above wind obstructions within a radius of 400 feet. 7. Choose cylinder with a stroke at least 2 inches longer than the pumping stroke of the mill. 8. Choose pump rod, pipe and other accessories to size recommended for the specific cylinder. Compare!! More Water, Less Energy. (click for PDF) This is a general guide. Contact us to assist you in choosing the equipment that best fills your specific pumping requirements. |
