Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 17 - Groundwater Pumping
Achieved badges:
Q: Why is it a good idea to make a well where the groundwater level is as high as possible?
A: The shorter the distance is to the water the less expensive it is to make the borehole and subsequently to pump the water to the surface
Q: Why is it a good idea to make a well where the groundwater level is as high as possible?
A: The shorter the distance is from the surface to the ground water, the better the water quality is
Q: Why is it a good idea to make a well where the groundwater level is as high as possible?
A: A higher level means lower water temperatures and better motor cooling
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: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
A: The by-passed water is wasted and cannot be used again
Q: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
A: The motor temperature rises and increases the risk of motor burn-out
Q: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
A: Energy is wasted as the pump continues to run at full speed
Q: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
A: Scaling
Q: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
A: Poor water quality
Q: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
A: High water temperature
Q: On top of energy-efficient pump operation, how does a frequency drive benefit your installation?
A: It comes with a built-in motor protection
Q: On top of energy-efficient pump operation, how does a frequency drive benefit your installation?
A: It can reduce cavitation
Q: On top of energy-efficient pump operation, how does a frequency drive benefit your installation?
A: It cools the motor
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
Q: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
A: Manual inspection
Q: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
A: Remote online monitoring
Q: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
A: Regular maintenance
Q: What kind of riser pipe is most likely to keep itself free from scaling?
A: Plastic hoses
Q: What kind of riser pipe is most likely to keep itself free from scaling?
A: Stainless steel pipes
Q: What kind of riser pipe is most likely to keep itself free from scaling?
A: Flex hoses
