2: Where is domestic groundwater extraction typically relevant?
In remote areas where it is too costly to extend the municipal water supply to just a few houses.
2: Where is domestic groundwater extraction typically relevant?
In smaller and medium sized towns.

3: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
Soft start reduces over-pressure in your piping.

3: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
It reduces the occurrence of water hammer in the pipes and minimises wear during start-up.
3: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
Soft start prevents the motor from getting warm.

4: How does the integrated dry-running protection work?
It prevents sand from damaging the pump.

4: How does the integrated dry-running protection work?
It automatically shuts down the pump if water shortage is detected.
5: The 3” SQ pump is obviously ideal for new boreholes but where can it also be used?
In wells with water temperature up to 60° C.

5: The 3” SQ pump is obviously ideal for new boreholes but where can it also be used?
In installations that require constant pressure.

5: The 3” SQ pump is obviously ideal for new boreholes but where can it also be used?
In original 4” boreholes where sediments over the years have narrowed the hole.
6: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
Because large variations in power supply will damage the motor over time.
6: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
To avoid burning the house fuses.
