1. Explain when to use a sump pump vs. an effluent pump vs. a sewage pump vs. a grinder pump.
2. Discuss the advantages of the different impeller and seal types within a wastewater pump.
3. Explain how to size the proper pump based on HP, performance and solids handling.
4. Discuss the pitfalls of incorrectly sizing pumps and basins, which leads to properly troubleshooting existing installations.
