The pump tear down school is for entry and mid-level maintenance personnel that are responsible for pumping equipment in water and waste water installations.  This course includes a basic hydraulics section and pump construction and maintenance topics during the classroom portion.  There are from two to five pump types to cover, and then the class divides up into groups for actual pump tear down and re-assembly.

Water Pumps (horizontal split case, end suction, vertical turbine)  -  4.0 hours

Waste Water Pumps (submersible and self primer solids handling)  -  3.5 hours

All five pumps                                                                      -    5.0 hours
