[SEL] Pump Question

[Duncan Denman]

Hi All,

I was offered a piston pump recently. It is far bigger than the one you
would find on a residential well with a flywheel that is probably 18" or
so. The inlet and outlet pipes are are about 1 1/2" NPT. The unit is at
least four to five feet long and built by McDougall. My question is,
what kind of HP would be needed to run this thing? If I can use it at a
show, fine. If not, I will take a pass on this one.
Thoughts???

Thanks,
Duncan
