Yes, You pump from one pump into a second to get a greater pressure boost. Be sure that the pumps and lines can handle the pressure increase.

Improved answer.

The above sounds like a simple series (one pump to another) connection.

This is not recommended - the first pump must have *more* delivery (gallons/minute or litres/minute), or the second pump is likely to "starve" and go into cavitation.

Talk to an irrigation/pump specialist. I solved the problem in my irrigation system by pumping from a bore (well) into a small dam, then from the dam into my tree/crop irrigation system. It was not practical to use the "two pumps in series" design implied by the first answer.

How do you know if the water pump is bad on your 2001 Subaru Outback?

A good sign of a water pump going bad is noise. It usually makes a grinding sound. Another sign is antifreeze leakage around the water pump. Some manufacturers put a small hole on the top side of the pump so that when the bearings fail coolant leaks out from this hole. Another good sign is high water temp gauge. When the water pump goes bad it fails to do its job of pumping coolant through the engine, hence the high water temp gauge. Hope this helps.


What are the signs of the water pump going out on your 1992 dodge dynasty?

Most automotive water pumps have a weep hole where water will leak out, indicating the water pump is faulty. Another indication is noise (like rattling) coming from within the water pump when the impeller is loose. Another way to check for water pump operation is to remove the radiator cap and start the engine. Keep an eye on the coolant through the radiator neck (DON'T STAND TOO CLOSE). When the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the thermostat opens, you should see the water circulating.
