Front 1

Hot Water Circulation/Re-circulation Pumps

Back 1

1) Provide hot water without waiting

2) Radiant heating

Front 2

Sewage Ejector Pump/Grinder Packages/ Sewage Waste

Back 2

-Add bathroom in basement or when the sewer or septic lines are higher than the water

Front 3

Back 5

Allows you to use appliances without having dig up your basement

Front 6

What are the two types on sump pumps?

Back 6

1) Submersible - small and compact

2) Pedestal - tall and skinny

Front 7

Sewage Pump Sizing

Back 7

Handle waste solids sizing up to 2" with a 2" output

Front 8

Macerating System

Back 8

Essentially a toilet with a sewage pump attached

-PRO: Dont need to break up flooring

-CON: often smaller and less powerful and ugly

Front 9

Effluent Pump

Back 9

-2" output but can only handle 3/4" solids

-Often pumping greywater

Front 10

Front 15

Define Head

Back 15

The height to which a pump can raise water

Front 16

Describe the relationship between suction and head

Back 16

Direct relationship. If suction is lower than head will be lower. Due to potential energy.

Front 17

Define total head

Back 17

Subtract head available at suction minus that at the discharge. This lets us know what the pump can do regardless of suction conditions.

Front 18

Head

Back 18

Head will remain the same assuming that liquid is viscosity is similar to water but the discharge pressure will be altered based on the specific gravity of the liquid
