4: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
Regular maintenance
5: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
It increases speed and thereby the performance of the pump
You can find the answer here >
5: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
It raises the motor temperature, reducing the lifetime
5: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
It reduces flow and pressure

6: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
The pump will give too high pressure

6: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
The risk of cavitation is very high
You can find the answer here >
6: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
The pump may not be able to deliver the required capacity
7: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
The by-passed water is wasted and cannot be used again
You can find the answer here >
7: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
The motor temperature rises and increases the risk of motor burn-out
You can find the answer here >
7: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
Energy is wasted as the pump continues to run at full speed
8: What is well development?
The drilling of a hole in the ground to find groundwater
