Hi mate. Thank you for the info. I have been reading the first link this morning. I need more time to analyze it throughly but in the meanwhile we'll get the plumber to do those basic things. Cavitation has occurred on the pump for about 1 month so I believe we will have to put in a rebuild kit...

Thanks erobz. I noticed last night the fine mesh on one of the filters was partily blocked and after cleaning it has reduced cavitation quite a lot. I think we will pay a plumber to come in to add the additional feed and also to use a drain cleaning device to try to unblock the pipes in case...

Hi mate. yep the single 50mm pipe that travels underground which actually forks off to 2 identical arimitsu pumps. So it needs to supply enough pressure for both We have another site where the reservoir tank is positioned on the 1st floor of our building and pump on the ground floor so there is...

Hi mate. I did a quick sketch. I've only shown 1 tank to simplify it a little. So the large water tank is a reservoir we use in case we run out of mains water pressure. The large tank feeds the pump you see on the right (this is actually for an automated carwash) So the PVC pipe length in...

Thanks mate. I'll have a read today. Just for a bit of further information the reason for the question is that we actually have a large water pump connected to each of the 2 outlets. One of the pumps is making a very loud rattle (I suspect it to be the pump connected to the pipe that is fed by...

Hi BvU. Thank you for the info and the references. I've had a quick read but not properly yet as Im beginning to see its quite involved to analyze properly! Thank you for the suggestion also Gordianus. This brought me to the idea of analyzing the water (lets pretend its inviscid) and instead...

Homework Statement: Sorry there is no homework statement with this problem Relevant Equations: n/a Hi guys. This is my first post here. I love physics but I am unsure how do model water flow type of problems. If anyone could please help us with how we can analyse this it would be much...
