Proper sump design on wet wells and collection ponds help avoid air entrainment in pumps. That air entrainment can lead to cavitation, loss of efficiency, increased maintenance, and shorter pump life.
Below are some suggestions to better design sumps to avoid problems.

As wastewater compositions evolve—with flushable wipes, fibrous materials, and grease-laden solids now common—traditional non-clog pumps are increasingly unable to cope. Municipalities and industrial users face a critical choice: should they specify a cutter or chopper impeller for their toughest pumping applications?
In the world of mining, few factors impact equipment performance and lifespan more than wear and corrosion. Pumps, in particular, face a relentless barrage of abrasive slurries and chemically aggressive fluids that can prematurely degrade internal components. That’s why metallurgy isn’t just a minor detail; it’s a decisive factor in mining pump system reliability and cost of ownership.
