Description
This “how-to” course will help the water or wastewater operator to understand how centrifugal pumps operate and perform basic pump maintenance. Subjects covered include centrifugal pump theory, reading pump curves, normal maintenance requirements, replacement of packing, mechanical seals, impellers, wear rings and shaft sleeves.  You will receive the current edition of the popular Pumps and Pumping, the only comprehensive pump manual designed specifically for water and wastewater operations. 
 
What our students are saying about this course:
I learned more about pumps, seals, bearings, piping and pump hydraulics than I will ever use.  Outstanding!
