Find your horsepower in the row, then read across. Total head is the lift from the pumping water level to the discharge, plus the pressure you want at the tank (2.31 ft for every PSI), plus friction in the drop pipe.

Read from the published curve in the Pumps by Baker catalog (Sept 2025, rev 3/26), p. 82, digitized and rounded down, at the flows nearest 20%, 50% and 75% of the curve’s 47.8 GPM end. 0 GPM is the printed shut-off. For the 1 HP and 1 1/2 HP curves, the published curve and A.Y. McDonald’s printed output tables disagree by about 13 and 12 ft on average; the head figures are read from the curve, and the output tables below are the printed figures. The last column is the last flow every curve reaches; the curve ends are named in the table title.

Output tables as printed in the Pumps by Baker catalog (Sept 2025, rev 3/26), pp. 81-82, at the 30 and 50 PSI rows. Riser-pipe friction is not included (manufacturer note): add it for long or small drop pipe. — marks a point A.Y. McDonald does not print for that horsepower. Left blank as apparent misprints (printed out of sequence; confirm with the factory): 1 HP, 30 PSI, 100 ft: printed 19; 7 1/2 HP, 50 PSI, 500 ft: printed 5.

Best operating range: the published curve shades the most efficient operating range for each model; the catalog prints no figures for it. The curve is in the image gallery.
