Torpedo
Pumps are the first pumps of their kind engineered to be powerful, high-flow/low
profile pumps that are lightweight and water-cooled. Their unique flow-through
water jacketing uses no oil and allows these pumps to be used in or out
of water. Their durable, non-corrosive construction, their ease of installation
and use, and their versatility make them the pump of choice for many high-flow
applications. These pumps operate in fresh or salt water environments.
Perfect for ponds and water gardens, waterfalls and water displays, large
irrigation systems, cooling and air conditioning systems, and high-volume
re-circulation systems.

Torpedo Pump Sizing
Continuous operation of these
pumps in a pond or waterfall requires that the pump be sized for each specific
installation. Pumps last longer and use less electricity when operated
in the mid-range of their performance curve (see charts below). To calculate
this, measure the height in feet from the surface of the pond water to
the point where the water returns to the pond (perhaps a waterfall spillway).
Add one (1) foot for every 90 degree elbow through which the water passes
from the pump to the point of return. Add one (1) foot for every ten (10)
foot length of tubing. This will provide the total height that the pump
must move the water. Locate that height in feet on the vertical axis of
the charts below and read to he right until you intersect the dotted red
line. It is best to operate the pump in the head height shown by the green
area. If the lines intersect too far to the left of the graph you must
choose a larger pump. If they intersect too far to he right you may either
choose a smaller pump or install a ball valve
at the discharge of the pump. By slightly closing the ball valve, never
more than one third, you will create additional back-pressure on the pump
that will allow it to operate correctly in the mid-range of its performance
curve. Proper sizing of the pump to your specific installation will ensure
optimal performance and maximum pump life.
