Water Horse Power (WHP) is a calculated measure of the horsepower produced by a pump using water as the working fluid. It represents the amount of energy generated by the pump to move a specific volume of water under certain pressure conditions. WHP is used to evaluate pump efficiency and performance, helping in the selection of the appropriate pump for various plumbing applications. Understanding WHP is crucial for optimizing energy use, ensuring proper flow rates, and maintaining system pressure.
