Calculate max. pressure required
1. Pressure (H) at the tap requiring max. pressure = X 2. Static head (A + B + C) = Y
3. Pressure loss from friction in pipes and fittings = Z Htotal = X + Y + Z
Example of calculation
1. Pressure at the tap (max pressure ): 43.5 psi = 100.5 ft 2. Static head: 65.6 ft + 16.4 ft + 16.4 ft = 98.4 ft 3. Pressure loss from friction in pipes and fittings:
9 ft + 5 ft = 14 ft Maximum pressure required:
Htotal = 100.5 ft + 98.4 ft + 14 ft =212.9 ft Pressure loss from friction in pipes and fittings.
Outside the house: plastic pipe, Ø25, length 144.3 => 32.8 ft Inside the house => 16.4 ft

How to select the cross-sectional area of the individual wire of a submersible drop cable
1. Select SQ pump incl. motor size 2. Required total length of cable (D + E + F) 3. Read the cross-sectional area of
individual wire of the drop cable
Example:
1. SQ pump incl. motor size 10 SQ07-200, 0.75hp, 230v
2. Distance from pump to the power source (outside 144 ft (D + F) + inside 20 ft (E)) 164 ft
3. Selected cross-sectional area 14 AWG
