Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 18 - Wastewater transport
Achieved badges:
Q: What are the benefits of a pumping station with a separate valve chamber?
A: It allows service and maintenance on the valves to be carried out without human interaction with the pit itself.
Q: What are the benefits of a pumping station with a separate valve chamber?
A: The pump station do not need to be that deep, because now the valves are not in the chamber with the wastewater.
Q: What are the benefits of a pumping station with a separate valve chamber?
A: There is no need for an intermediate deck in the pump station for the people there shall service or maintain the valves.
Q: What is parallel operation?
A: When two or more pump stations are operating at the same time.
Q: What is parallel operation?
A: When two or more pumps operate side by side simultaneously.
Q: What is parallel operation?
A: When one pump is pumping into another pump and they are operating at the same time.
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, the contractor shall dig too deep in the ground for the pump station.
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 might require longer motor cable for the pump due to the depth of the pump station.
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.
Q: What might be the reason a wastewater pump solution requires a big free passage?
A: The big free passage will eliminate blocking of impeller.
Q: What might be the reason a wastewater pump solution requires a big free passage?
A: The need for high flow and/or a high content of solids.
Q: What might be the reason a wastewater pump solution requires a big free passage?
A: With the big free passage the pump can also pump wastewater contaminated with sand and gravel.
Q: What makes the S-tube® impeller virtually clog-free?
A: The excellent hydraulic efficiency and free passage.
Q: What makes the S-tube® impeller virtually clog-free?
A: The big free passage up to 160 mm (6.3”).
Q: What makes the S-tube® impeller virtually clog-free?
A: The S-tube® impeller has either a SmartTrim function or a replaceable neck ring to secure the right impeller clearance.
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%.
Q: Can a sewage pump handle all types of wastewater?
A: Yes with solids up to 100 mm (4”) and max. dry content 3 to 5%.
Q: Can a sewage pump handle all types of wastewater?
A: Yes if gravels and stones are max 100 mm (4”).
Q: What is drainage water?
A: Wastewater from parking areas, sidewalks and alike after a rainy weather.
Q: What is drainage water?
A: Wastewater without toilet waste or impurities like paper, diapers and textile fibres.
Q: What is drainage water?
A: Slightly polluted water from a bathroom where the water is running to the drain.
Q: What is the purpose of the start level sensor?
A: It will send an alarm when the water reaches this level and the pump do not start.
Q: What is the purpose of the start level sensor?
A: It will stop the pump when the water level is lowered to below this level after a pump start.
Q: What is the purpose of the start level sensor?
A: It activates the pump when the water reaches this level.
