Stories sought for “People do the darndest things to pumps!”
The Pump Systems Matter™ (PSM) educational initiative announced plans to collect accounts from the pump industry on how pumps are applied, run and/or maintained incorrectly.

Visitors can share their stories about the daily difficulties of maintaining and running various pumping systems from all different markets.  These accounts will be chronicled in a document entitled “People Do the Darndest Things to Pumps!” and may help in the development of a pump systems optimization guidebook.  “People Do the Darndest Things to Pumps!” is intended to be a collection of anonymously contributed stories from reputable pump industry professionals that show common mistakes pump users make when running or maintaining systems.  Often times, these mistakes lead to wasted energy, production losses, excessively high maintenance costs, and safety and environmental concerns.  By providing details of their stories, contributors will help the many industries that use pumping systems become more efficient and productive.

Once you submitted a story, a Pump Systems Matter™ staff member will then be in touch as soon as possible.  Guests should be aware that their own names as well as the names of manufacturers and customers will not be identified in any document after the original submission.
