A: The wastewater stays in the pit too long, which leads to sedimentation.
Correct
Q: Why is it important that the distance between the start and stop level is not too long?
A: If the distance is too long it reduces the number of cycles, which may cause sedimentation because the water stays in the pit too long.
Correct
Q: Can a sewage pump handle all types of wastewater?
A: Yes if the pH value is within 4 – 9 and max. dry content 3 to 5%.
Correct
Q: What is one of the main challenges facing utility companies today in relation to transportation of wastewater?
A: Lower water consumption has changed the composition of wastewater, which now has a higher proportion of dry solid content than before.
