Find your horsepower in the row. Total head is the depth to the pumping water level, plus 2.31 ft for every PSI you want at the tank, plus drop-pipe friction. The two output tables below do that sum for a 30/50 PSI pressure switch.

DAB prints flow at each depth and discharge pressure rather than a head-at-flow table (S4 Technical Sheet 60191756, p. 4). Each head here is the highest total head, depth plus DAB’s own foot equivalent of the pressure, at which DAB prints at least that flow, so it never claims more than DAB’s grid. 0 GPM is DAB’s printed shut-off; 7 GPM is the highest flow every build reaches; DAB prints flows to 7-8 GPM by model.
