Yes floating pumps whether they are high speed centrifugal or deep well submersible will
pump water from a standing source or river or creek with adequate water depth and feet
per minute of flow across the suction port. the same applies to a deep well submersible
in a pond. WE collectively do not know whether this pond is spring fed or rain fed so..............
I fully understand hydraulics and circulation of fluids as I stated earlier having
rebuilt hydraulic pumps and motors as well as installing Hale and Waterous Fire Pumps
in Saulsbury fire trucks.
A deep well submersible can have at least three turbine stages to pump water
and will continue to supply that water as long as the motor remains cool or has adequate
water depth to keep the motor cool.
As long as the submersible pump has a clear suction, and or a pump sleeve and
adequate water depth to pull water from it will work well.
Lots of folks use Deep Well Submersibles suspedned on a PVC float to aerate deep ponds.
My neighor has his mounted on a PVC pipe float with a one inch fan nozzle attached to it
with a pipe nipple to aerate his mud pond.
I guess he is going to have to talk to his local fire department about pumps if he
does not want to use an electric pump BUT according to him his budget is limited.
I also laid out a parts list for what he needs minus a generator.
As he lives in Eastern Washington State his is in a bit of a pickle as much of the area is a desert of sorts.
I wish him well and I want him to succeed, not fail.
