Horizontal waterpump installation
What are the main issues with using a submersible water pump in a horizontal setup?
This would be used for a cottage and the water supply comes from the lake. I have been installing pumps for close to 30 years and they are always in a drilled well or shorewell and they are vertical installations.
I have heard of problems with the bearings and impellers having premature wear due to horizontal installations. I have seen a few installed in springs and they are still working OK.
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for your time.
