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: By how much does the supply voltage decrease before the motor contactor stops the pump?
A: More than 10 %
Q: By how much does the supply voltage decrease before the motor contactor stops the pump?
A: More than 15 %
Q: By how much does the supply voltage decrease before the motor contactor stops the pump?
A: More than 20 %
Q: What happens if the water level in the well drops below the inlet?
A: The motor power consumption drops
Q: What happens if the water level in the well drops below the inlet?
A: The motor power consumption stays the same
Q: What happens if the water level in the well drops below the inlet?
A: The motor power consumption increases
Q: Which are the two most common applications in which a Grundfos SQ/SQE submersible pump is used?
A: Groundwater lowering & Irrigation
Q: Which are the two most common applications in which a Grundfos SQ/SQE submersible pump is used?
A: Domestic water supply & Groundwater lowering
Q: Which are the two most common applications in which a Grundfos SQ/SQE submersible pump is used?
A: Domestic water supply & Irrigation
Q: Why is correct sizing of the submersible pump important?
A: Because an undersized pump will not be able to deliver the required flow and pressure and an oversized pump reduces energy efficiency, which increases operational costs.
Q: Why is correct sizing of the submersible pump important?
A: Because too small a pump will pump the well dry.
Q: Why is correct sizing of the submersible pump important?
A: Because too big a pump will ruin the taps due to too high pressure.
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.
