Why “Smart” Pumps Aren’t Always Smart

Think a "variable speed" pump is a guaranteed money-saver? Think again. A recent analysis has revealed that a common engineering "shortcut" could actually be draining thousands of dollars from utility budgets every year. Junior engineers often fall for the "Pump Affinity Law"—a simple formula suggesting that if you slow a pump down by 20%, you cut its power use in half. It sounds like a no-braine...
