a simple graph which shows the performance characteristics of a particular pump

A graph of a pumps water flow capacity with various resistances.

Also called a pump performance curve, a graph that represents a pumps water flow capacity at any given resistance. Pump strainer basket: A device placed on the suction side of the pump, which contains a removable strainer basket designed to trap debris in the water flow without causing much flow restriction. Sometimes called a hair-and-lint trap.
