Selecting the Proper Pump

J. David Bankston, Jr. and Fred Eugene Baker


Opening Paragraph:

Aquaculture operations imply that you will be pumping water, but you also need to know such things as the temperature range, the corrosiveness (is it salty water?), and how much and what kind of trash or debris such as sand, dirt, leaves, fish or twigs may be in the water. With this knowledge, you and your dealer can select the proper pump.
