If you have a centrifugal pump problem, the odds are Mike Sondalini has included the solution in this very detailed e-book - "Centrifugal Pump Problems & Answers".

Mike goes through the problem solving steps in detail with his own experiences and research. Although this book primarily focuses on the centrifugal pump, many of the solutions are applicable to well... pumps in general.

With over 50 sections, we can only list a few here. Some of the areas of discussion are flow, mechanical seal, bearings, rotor, cavitations, liquid density, couplings, vibration isolation, fan, metal corrosion, impeller, balancing, alignment and even the effects on electric motors.

This ebook is a very simple 2 page plan. Ideally a waterwheel should be made with a material like wood or plastic that will not go soggy and floppy in water. But, as these need to be cut out with hacksaws or very sharp knives, it is much safer if models are made with cardboard—though they will soon disintegrate when used in water!!

If you own, work with or are studying a water pump, sump pump, pool pump, chemical pump, industrial pump or any other type of pump, you will find the knowledge in this book by Mike Sondalini very valuable. Mike gives you insight to design, uses, installation, calibration, troubleshooting and maintenance for the various pump types in his book titled "Pump Types Explained". Mike starts out with details about the centrifugal pump with pump curves, cavitations and how to correct the situation. In addition to the centrifugal pump chapters, the peristaltic pump (hose pump), metering pump (dosing pump), gear pump, helical pump and the magnetic drive pump are explained. Of special interest during the design phase is Mike's cost / accuracy guide to pump types. Learn how to choose the right pump for the job, get a copy of "Pump Types Explained" now!

A hydraulic ram is a water-powered cyclic pump. It harnesses the forces of water hammer to pump a portion of the water being used to power the pump to a point higher than where the water originally started. It is sometimes used in remote areas, where the right conditions exist, since it requires no outside source of power other than the kinetic energy of falling water.

Chapters include: suction pumps and lift pumps, making simple suction pumps, pump cup leathers, pump valves, ram or plunger pumps, making a bucket and plunger pump, construction of a plumber's force pump, wooden pumps, small pumps for special purposes, centrifugal pumps, air-lift and pulsometer pumps, and hydraulic rams.

The book has been re-published from the original and contains the whole script, diagrams and formulas. The book has been reformatted and is not just a scanned copy of the original.

The 'Sump Pumps, Submersible Pumps and Bilge Pumps Basic Selection, Installation and Use Guide.' gives you a thorough checklist of the important factors to consider with these pumps, their installation and operation to get a long, failure-free, low-maintenance pump operating life.

This eBook has valuable information like 'solving problems with sump pump applications', including a section for each pump type on the particulars of installing a sump pump, submersible pump and the bilge pump.

This guide is also helpful for well water pumping projects, septic system design and maintenance and basement pump installations.

The information in this guide is based on years of practical engineering experience with pump operation, fault finding, failure analysis and pumping system design. It provides you with a good checklist of what to do to get many years of trouble-free service. Use it as a means to select the right equipment and to fault-find existing equipment.
