Sewer Pump Inspection

Creation Mode: Assign to Sewer Pump (not allowed on scenarios with start time > 0)

Purpose and Effect: This action allows you to extract simulation properties of a sewer pump. A pump transports water in a sewer system from a Node with lower elevation to a higher one. The Action Tool Panel contains a table that lists all available display options, such as the discharge, which is shown by default.

Hint: The Action Tool Panel provides the option to select all pumps for inspection, which can be used for finding their locations in a large sewer network.

Display Options

There are different Visual Presets available in the Sewers category for the display of the sewer network. The visual preset Sewers: 3D Meshes allows you to navigate under the terrain to get a clear view of the network.

Inlay Plot

Inspection labels offer the option to display an inlay plot, which can be configured via a drop-down menu. The plot can show either the pump flow over time or the pump flow in relation to the relevant inlet and outlet conditions. The second option is useful for verification purposes. The expected rating curve is shown in gray, while the simulated operating points appear as blue dots. The startup and shutoff depths of the pump are indicated with red vertical lines. Ideally, the blue dots should closely follow the gray line, indicating that the simulation matches the defined control behavior.
