You can think of a pump curve like a weather forecast. When you read it right, you know exactly what to expect. When you don’t, everything goes off track! And that is why so many systems with water well pumps fail early. The curve tells the whole story, yet most people skip the details that matter. Let’s walk through it clearly so you avoid those expensive missteps.
You may look at a pump curve and wonder why it feels like a puzzle! The truth is that it only shows how the pump behaves as pressure and flow change. When you understand that simple idea, the rest becomes clear. And if you rely on water well pumps, reading these curves the right way prevents damage, stops cycling, and protects your investment.
Flow shows how much water you move. Head shows how much force your pump must push against. When either number is off, the whole system feels the impact.
Let’s share a quick analogy. Think
