    Circulating Pumps - submersible pumps - low efficiency
    Hello people,

    Well I was selecting some hot water circulating pumps and submersible pumps, for a rather big project.

    I consulted GRUNDFOS (can't get bigger than that).

    For the hot water circulating pumps, Grundfos informed me that the best selection according to my (flow, head) requirements was a pump with a generally low efficiency curve:
    Efficiency at working point: 31.6 %
    Maximum effiency of the pump curve : 32.7%.

    Is this selection considered acceptable? Any thoughts?

    As for the submersible pumps, since my flow requirements is low (15.8 gpm at 6 meters head, 8.7 psi), the efficiency of the selected pump kept appearing flow on the software.
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks !

    Paul
