That little pump will fill the city pool up to 30mm deep. It may take a couple years, but it will do it. That is the nature of centrifugal pumps. These pumps maintain a constant pressure, regardless of flow rate. That's in direct contrast to displacement pumps, which move specific volumes of water regardless of pressure (to a point, of course.)
So if the volume of water IE diamater is more , the psi doesn't increase? so 10 feet deep in the ocean is the same psi as 10 feet deep in a common pool , interesting.. Never gave that much thought. So I see what you're saying about filling the pool.. nice job breaking it down for us.. lol --Bikr
