An opposing impeller arrangement, for using in an opposed impeller pump, features a combination of a stage 1 impeller arrangement and a stage 2 impeller arrangement having opposing impellers and different impeller and wear ring arrangements. The stage 1 impeller arrangement may include a stage 1 impeller and a stage 1 wear ring, and be configured to receive an input fluid flow and a pump stage 1 fluid flow. The stage 2 impeller arrangement may include a stage 2 impeller and a stage 2 wear ring configured to receive the pump stage 1 fluid flow and provide a pump stage 2 fluid flow, and may also include a stage 2 wear ring undercut configured between the stage 2 impeller and the stage 2 wear ring to offset generated axial thrust in the opposing impeller pump, based upon the different impeller and wear ring arrangements.
