Sand filter for pump suction
Sand filter for pump suction
(OP)
Hi All,
We have a pump, Q=30 l/s, Hm=350 m. Speed= 1450 rpm, for agricultral irrigation sucking sandy water from a river. The water is too sandy and our pump wears off too quickly. Are there any filtering system for sandy water to be installed on the suction pipe of the pump?
Many thanks in advance.

In the end it comes down to the cost of a filter/settling tank vs the cost of higher grade pump materials.
That's a decision only you can make.
