impeller material for sediment/sandy stormwater.
(OP)
I am specifying a pair of stormwater pumps, 50'head @2,000gpm pumping stormwater from storage tank dikefields.
Some of the fields are not stoned, so the system picks up quite a lot of sediment and sand from erosion. This problem is slated to be corrected, but for now.... what would be a good choice for the pump impeller. Is bronze too soft?
Woud cast iron or ductile iron be more suitable?
Thanks

This will decide the best materials of construction for the pump unit.
Pump construction could range from cast-iron thru to hard white iron or even rubber-lined depending on the nature of the entrained solids.
The more exotic the materials of construction the more expensive the pump will be.
You should also consider the pump type for this application.
