Hi! I need help about modeling a submersible pumps, i don't know what elevations insert on Reservoir and pump. for the exemple my dynamic level it's 38 meters, the closest node it's on elevation 235,00, can you help me define the elevations of my reservoir and pump? Do i need to change the length of the pipes on 'Has User defined length'?
Hello Fabio,
If you are using WaterGEMS or WaterCAD, you would set the reservoir elevation to the water surface elevation of the source. This would be connected to the pump with a short, frictionless pipe. You can use a large diameter and short user defined length to minimize the headloss in the pipe.
The following link has information on this: Modeling a submersible pump.
