24. WWMPS Pumps & Operation

25. Vacuum Priming for WWMPS
A Simple Process Consists of the Following to Prime the Pump:
Vacuum Pump
Sonic Start Priming Sensor
Solenoid Valve

26. SONIC START® Streamline™

27. 1. SONIC START® Streamline™
Prime Sensor
2. Solenoid Valve
3. Vacuum Pump

28. Definitions On Demand mode primes only when the pump is called to run
Constant Prime mode keeps the pumps primed even while idle
THIS SWITCH OFFERS 2 MODES- ON DEMAND PRIMIE WHICH IS THE ONE THAT WWMPS HAVE USED SINCE THEIR INCEPTION. WHEN THE PUMP IS CALLED FOR, IF ITS NOT PRIMED IT WILL PRIME AND THEN RUN
THE OTHER MODE IS CONSTANT PRIME AND THIS CIRCUIT USES A TIMER THAT WILL LOOK AT THE SONIC START AND SEE IF IT SHOWS PRIMED OR NOT. IF IT IS STILL PRIMED, THE TIMER WILL RESET. IF IT’S NOT PRIMED, THE VACUUM PUMP WILL BE STARTED AND RAN UNTIL THE PUMP IS PRIMED.

42. Smith & Loveless or Submersibles? - What’s the Story?

43. Submersible Pumps Confined space issues
Oil, Electric and water do not mix
Will not pass a 3” solid
Smaller shafts
Most have two seals
Most have a cable sealing grommet to leak
All have electrical cable that can be severed
No additional cost for a valve vault
