Pump Systems Matter and sponsor BC Hydro developed this guide to outline the process of a Basic or Level I pumping system assessment. An assessment identifies a few pump systems that could be investigated further for cost-effective system improvements. It uses a spreadsheet (Pre-screening form) to gather the needed data on the pumping systems. This document is discussed throughout the PSM one day course, "Pumping Systems Optimization: Opportunities to Improve Life Cycle Performance."
