pump not working on its operating region

dear sir

we already buy a submersible pump with flow rate = 50 m3/h and head =20m 

and for some changes in site condition we forced to operate this pump in a different conditions

the new head needed = 10m only 

what is the most common method to reduce the head and making the pump to operates in its operating region

thanks a lot 

  • You may want to talk with the manufacturer to trade in the pump for one that matches the system better.

    If it is a multi-stage pump, you can remove a stage but this one probably isn't. If it is a single stage, you can trim or replace the impeller. You can install a variable speed drive to slow down the pump. You can throttle a discharge valve to waste head and efficiency. Or you can run the pump inefficiently and replace it when the motor burns up.

  • but what i knew throttling valve will increase the head not waste it.
