is there a continuously running pump
(OP)
I need to continuously pump water from a large ditch. I will have water from the ditch flowing by gravity about 10-15cfs into a wet well which the pump will be placed in. I will then need to pump the water out of the wet well at between 10-15 cfs. This pump will run 24 hours a day for about 280 days out of the year. Is there a pump/ pump manufacturer that can do this? thanks

The standard pump motor is a NEMA B with 1.15 service factor. For a continuous duty service, you do not have to specify anything special.

Heat is the main cause of reduced motor life. A continuous-duty electric motor is designed to produce its rated horsepower output without overheating and damaging the insulation on the motor coil windings. Expected motor life under proper operating conditions is S to 10 years of continuous operation.
