5. Case Study To have a lifetime of over 20 years. Corrosion resistance.. Pump the same amount of water as originally. To withstand the Installation depth.

6. Case Study Use standard shafts, original if possible. Use standard tools for assembly. Connect to original Discharge Head. Match the column thread on discharge bowl of the pump.

7. Case Study The solution is to use replace the old corroded steel column with a non- corrosive material. The new column to be the same length as the original column so the column shaft can be re-used.
