the woes of tying pumps together

You got to be cautious when tieing two pumps together in series. The
"stronger" pump will overcome the "weaker" unit. My suggestion is to put a check valve in there somewhere or more closes match the head capabilty of the pumps. The "best" pumps we run at work are rated for 5400 gpm at 200' feet of head.
