elevated water supply to pump
(OP)
Hey all - Working on my first water system design. In general, if the supply line to a pump is elevated, can this positive pressure be subtracted from the feet of head seen by the discharge? Thus reducing the size of the pump?

A PD pumps works quite differently, but increased inlet head can lead to increased outlet presusre, but not in the same controlled manner as a centrifugal pump.
