In this video I describe the differences between Motor, Brake, and Water Horsepower when it comes to pumping water at a specific flow rate to a specific head, as seen in the pumping section of the CA SWRCB Water Distribution and Water Treatment Exam conversion sheet.

Sometimes they ask you to calculate cost of the pump. You can add the cost of KW an hour to the top part of the equation to solve for that also.

Very useful video, I am looking at doing some training at work with the engineers and operators, (we work with salt water disposals) where would I be able to get a copy of your formula sheet ?
