If I put a higher speed motor on my centrifugal pump, will it pump more?

Update Time:2016/11/1
It will pump more, but it will likely overload the motor. If you double the rotational speed of the motor from 1800 RPM to 3600 RPM, the horsepower required by a centrifugal pump actually increases by a factor of eight. Increasing the pump speed may also pressurize the pump beyond a safe working pressure and overload the shaft and bearings. Increasing the impeller is another option.
