ABSTRACT:
A submersible pump support including at least one pump housing, a first pump support rail extending in a first plane coupled to and supporting the at least one pump housing, a second pump support rail extending in the first direction in the first plane coupled to and supporting the at least one pump housing, wherein a distance of the at least one pump housing from the first plane is no more than one half a distance, in the first plane, between the first and second pump support rails. According to a another aspect of the invention, there is provided a submersible pump support including an intake screen located in the at least one pump housing so as to provide fluid flow over a pump assembly mounted in the at least one pump housing to an intake port of a pump in the pump assembly, the intake screen being located in the at least one pump housing and having a fluid flow capacity sufficient to provide a minimum fluid flow velocity determined by a cooling requirement of a pump assembly, the intake screen additionally having a fluid flow capacity sufficient to provide a maximum fluid flow velocity to reduce vortices in a fluid flowing through the at least one pump housing. The submersible pump support is constructed of a material having a specific gravity of less than one. In a preferred embodiment, the material is polyethylene (HDPE).
