Sanitary lift station pump speeds.
Sanitary lift station pump speeds.
(OP)
Can anyone offer some insight to the advantages and or disadvantages of using high speed (> 1700 rpm) pumps for residential sanitary lift stations. Looking at a 35 hp, 230 V constant speed pump that will run at 3530 rpm.
Thanks.
Thanks.





RE: Sanitary lift station pump speeds.
However, sometimes the higher rpm is necessary to meet the particular pumping requirements.
You should also be looking at the use of a 480 volt pump. It will probably save electrical power costs over a 240 Volt power supply.
