CALCULATING DRAWDOWN
To calculate drawdown you must first determine switch ON and OFF locations. Recommended locations are: ON (or uppermost): Minimum of 3 below basin inlet. OFF: 6 below top of pump dome. Then multiply the distance between the ON and OFF locations times the basin capacity in gallons per inch to get Total drawdown or Usable Volue. RULE OF THUMB for Basin C apacity in Gallons/Inch 24 " Basin Diameter = 2 Gallons per inch of depth 30 " Basin Diameter = 3 Gallons per inch of depth 36 " Basin Diameter = 4 Gallons per inch of depth 42 " Basin Diameter = 6 Gallons per inch of depth 48 " Basin Diameter = 8 Gallons per inch of depth 60 " Basin Diameter = 12 Gallons per inch of depth 72 " Basin Diameter = 18 Gallons per inch of depth Total Drawdown or Usable Volume = Distance between On and Off Switch(in inches) x C apacity in Gallons/Inch
SCOURING VELOCITY
A wastewater pump must o maintain sufficient velocity to scour or clean the walls of the pipe so the pipe doesnt get clogged from buildup. The capacity or flow of the pump produces the velocity which scours the line. Minimum velocity needed to scour the line is 2 ft. per second. The required flow to maintain minimum velocity of 2 feet per second is: 1.25 PIPE - 9 GPM 1.5 PIPE - 13 GPM 2 PIPE - 21 GPM 2.5 PIPE - 30 GPM 3 PIPE - 46 GPM 4 Pipe 78 GPM There may be State or Local C odes requiring a minimum sanitary or plumbing system capacity based on usage and/or occupancy. Required system capacity can vary widely depending upon family ages and lifestyle. Be sure to check with the appropriate agencies.
