In his book the hot garden scott calhoun suggests that a fountain should never be taller than 1 3 the height of your home.
Water fountain height calculation.
I estimated the height that it reached after shooting out from the fountain to be roughly 10cm.
Any horizontal diagonal flow is then measured by its length and 1 of head added per 10 of horizontal diagonal distance.
Choose a pump that is at least one and one half times the head height for optimal performance.
Keep in mind that the larger a fountain is the heavier it will be.
He also reminds readers that a fountain that is deeper than it is wide will help conserve water because there is less chance for evaporation.

In summary the variables in bernoulli s equation are as follows.
A ratio of 0 7.

The second way is the pragmatic way.
To create a simple waterfall the gallon per hour that churns from the pump should be 1 500.
Otherwise calculate the volume by measuring the length width and depth of the pond in feet and multiplying these numbers together.
Mgh 1 2mv 2 mass of the water doesn t matter here as it cancels out.
What water height value corresponds to a pressure of 1 kpa.
What water height value corresponds to a pressure of 1 mpa.

For example if your fountain is 30 inches tall find a pump with a maximum lift of 45 inches or more.
A waterfall provides a dramatic aesthetic to the landscaping that buttresses a home.
Then multiply the result by 7 47 to get the number of gallons.
The top height the pond fountain pump can lift the water up to is called maximum head or max head.
This will give a discharge of a foot for the waterfall.
So we can calculate the water s velocity using conservation of energy.
First i calculated the speed of the water.
1 kpa 1 000 pa 1.
1 mpa 1000 000 pa 1.
