Description
Do your pump stations suck? Do pumps in the network or at your plant clog,
perform poorly, or hog the maintenance budget? The problem may be more than the brand of pump or the horsepower of its motor. This course will cover real-world scenarios as you learn how to collect and use information about your system; Use manufacturer’s data to select the best equipment for your application; Troubleshoot common (and not-so-common) pump station failures; and Prepare for (and in a large part, avert) the next station crisis.
