Achieved badges:
Q: What can be done to the well if sand continues to enter a well after the well development has been carried out?
A: The well driller can try to run the pump at its maximum capacity in short periods of time over a couple of days
Q: What can be done to the well if sand continues to enter a well after the well development has been carried out?
A: The well driller can replace the casing with a new one with smaller slots
Q: What can be done to the well if sand continues to enter a well after the well development has been carried out?
A: An additional filter can be installed inside the casing
Q: How is it possible to protect the motor against bad power supply?
A: By means of an electronic motor protection that senses all possible deviations
Q: How is it possible to protect the motor against bad power supply?
A: By means of a UC filter
Q: How is it possible to protect the motor against bad power supply?
A: By using a special water resistant cabling
