Regarding the presence of foreign objects in the discharge water of a high-flow, high-head multistage pump, this is a relatively complex issue involving multiple factors. The following is a detailed analysis of the possible causes of this phenomenon.

1. Poor raw water quality: If the water source itself contains impurities or pollutants, these substances may be sucked into the pump and transported with the water flow. For this situation, it is recommended to install pre-treatment equipment, such as filters, at the pump inlet to remove impurities from the water.

2. Pipeline contamination: Pipelines used for a long time may experience corrosion and scaling, causing the detachment of deposits on the inner walls of the pipes and entering the pump body. Regular maintenance and inspection of the pipeline condition, timely cleaning and replacement of damaged pipelines, can effectively avoid this problem.

3. Internal pump problems: Wear or damage to internal pump components may lead to the generation of foreign objects. For example, wear and tear on sealing rings and bearings can produce particles or fragments. Regular inspection and maintenance of internal pump components and timely replacement of severely worn components can prevent the generation of foreign objects.

4. Airflow carrying particulate matter: When a multistage pump operates at high head, it may carry tiny particles from the air. In this case, the installation height of the pump can be increased and an air filter can be installed to reduce the entry of airborne particles into the pump body.

5. Improper installation: If the pump is improperly installed or the seal is not tight, external foreign objects may enter the pump body. During installation, ensure good sealing performance to prevent external foreign objects from entering.

6. Improper operation and maintenance: Improper operation and maintenance may cause foreign objects to enter the pump body or abnormal pump operating conditions that produce foreign objects. The pump should be started and stopped strictly according to the operating procedures, and regular maintenance and inspection should be carried out.

To address the above causes, the following measures can be taken to solve the problem:

1. Improve raw water quality: Install pre-treatment equipment to remove impurities.

2. Regularly maintain and inspect pipelines and pump bodies.

3. Ensure good pump installation and sealing performance.

4. Strictly follow operating procedures for pump operation and maintenance.

In general, solving the problem of foreign objects in the discharge water of a high-flow, high-head multistage pump requires consideration of multiple factors and the adoption of appropriate measures. Through reasonable operation and regular maintenance, the occurrence of this problem can be effectively reduced or avoided.
