    Description
    This course presents an introduction to the maintenance and operation of pumps and motors used in the water industry. Single and three phase motors, alongside velocity, centrifugal, and positive displacement pumps are studied as a foundation for the class. Common failures of pumps and motors during water treatment and transportation are examined and connected with preventative maintenance program plans. Pump curves and pumps and motors efficiency are reviewed from the perspective of pump and motor selection criteria and sizing.
