Hi,
I am installing two vertical 10000 usgpm centrifugal pumps in a salt water well (13'x 22'x 20' deep). The pumps were purchase second-hand and I have limited information on them. Due to constraints, I may have to put the intakes of the pumps about 6.5' apart. I am concerned that since the intakes of the pumps are relatively close together it may affect their performance. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Yes. Look at these references for intake/suction design ideas and no-no's to avoid:

- Cameron Hydraulic Data
- Centrifugal Pump Clinic (Karassik)
- Centrifugal Pump Handbook (Dufour and Nelson) Thanks!
