When you add pumps together, remember that the system curve dictates what the actual flow will be. Artisi is correct in saying that it will be unlikely you will have 3 x pump flow.
The curves are additive, but the system will dictate the actual flow performance.
I made this curve for a system we have in my facility. The numbers are a little off, but it works for illustrating the situation.
