From the 50 m3/h move down till you come to the part of the table with the heading Head. Move further down-
wards till you come to a figure equal to or slightly below/above the required head, in this case 62. The unit best
meeting this requirement is the 15 kW HUNI NBU 40/B which supplies a head of 62 m.

The column on the far right of the duty pump performance tables states a reference letter for the jockey pump. If
you take this reference letter to the tables on page 19, you will find the jockey pump for your unit - in this case a
