Guidelines for your enquiry:-

Please have the following information available when requesting a pump quotation.

Flow rate, Pump fluid flow rate in litres per minute.

Static Head, the highest point to which the pump must elevate the fluid is known as static head. It is measured from the centre body of the volute casing to the maximum vertical height of the discharge pipe above the pump.

Friction Head, the friction loss that the fluid will develop while travelling through the pipe system. In terms of water this is easily determined by consulting a friction loss curve. You will need to know the total length of the pipe and the internal diameter of this pipe.

Suction condition

Another piece of information you will need is the suction condition you expect the pump to operate with, is it flooded (water level above pump centre body) self priming (pump is above water level) Submersible (pump is located inside the water body?
