How Understanding System Dynamics Extends Pump Life

HOMA Pump Technology’s Nick Terranova joins the Water Online Show to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in wastewater operations — pump curves. Terranova explains why pumps may be “simple machines,” but the systems they operate in are anything but. He shares how understanding pump curves can prevent costly failures, improve efficiency, and extend equipment life. From practical insights for operators and engineers to training resources for anyone eager to learn, this conversation makes the science of pumping accessible — and even empowering.
