Identify Flow Range & Minimum

Well I.D. Requirements
Use Chart A on reverse to select a model according to your pump’s
actual flow rate. If two or more models are applicable, select the model
with the lowest maximum flow rate. Note also the minimum required
well I.D. If your well is not large enough, either select another available
model which accommodates your flow rate and well I.D. or consult
factory for assistance. Circle the appropriate model on this work-
sheet.

the line between two “ranges,” you must select the larger shell size. PLEASE SIGN HERE

The following data applies only to the basic separator. Since the pump enclosure shell for submersible separators is predicated on the
actual pump’s dimensions, standard specifications cannot be published.
