Decreasing Lifecycle Costs: Don't Lose Dollars Chasing After Cents

Efficiency is one of the most important metrics in the modern pumping world. Being able to do more with less is critically important whenever money is on the line, and for pumping fluids, that is most often measured through operating costs. However, it is important to remember that efficiency comes in many forms, not just the clean water efficiency shown on pump curves, especially when pumping wastewater.

This article explores some of the best practices to ensure overall station reliability, i.e., “total station efficiency,” in order to keep operating costs and downtime at a minimum.
