What is the vertical lift from the water pump to the point-of-use known as?
Suction head
Delivery head
Discharge head
Static head
The correct answer is: Discharge head
The vertical distance between the water pump and the point-of-use is known as the discharge head. This is also sometimes referred to as the discharge height or discharge elevation. The other options are not correct because suction head refers to the vertical distance from the water source to the pump, delivery head refers to the distance from the pump to the discharge point, and static head is an incorrect term for this measurement.
