Q: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
A: Because large variations in power supply will damage the motor over time.
Q: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
A: To avoid burning the house fuses.
Q: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
A: To minimise the power consumption.
Q: Which submersible pump was replaced with a Grundfos SQ?
A: A 4” submersible pump
Q: Which submersible pump was replaced with a Grundfos SQ?
A: A 3” submersible pump
Q: Which submersible pump was replaced with a Grundfos SQ?
A: A 5” submersible pump
Q: How long did it take to replace the pump with a Grundfos SQ?
A: 30 minutes
Q: How long did it take to replace the pump with a Grundfos SQ?
A: 60 minutes
Q: How long did it take to replace the pump with a Grundfos SQ?
A: 90 minutes
Q: Which protection features does the SQE have?
A: Voltage handling, soft start, dry-running protection and overload protection.
Q: Which protection features does the SQE have?
A: Protection against the well running dry.
Q: Which protection features does the SQE have?
A: The SQE does not have any protection features.
Q: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
A: Soft start reduces over-pressure in your piping.
Q: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
A: It reduces the occurrence of water hammer in the pipes and minimises wear during start-up.
Q: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
A: Soft start prevents the motor from getting warm.
Q: How does the integrated dry-running protection work?
A: It automatically restarts 3 minutes after shut down.
Q: How does the integrated dry-running protection work?
A: It prevents sand from damaging the pump.
Q: How does the integrated dry-running protection work?
A: It automatically shuts down the pump if water shortage is detected.
