On a typical day, the lead pump may cycle multiple times without ever needing the lag pump. The pumps do not alternate sO one pump receives the bulk of the workload and wear and tear. This often presents problems when there is a surge in flow to the station (heavy rain event) and the lag pump is called for. Having been off for an extended period (days or weeks), it may lose prime and néed manual priming The typical lift station control panel is a duplex panel (one panel controls both pumps). This panel automatically alternates the pumping order sO that each pump receives equal starts. Alternating starts should allow both pumps to remain primed, splits the wear and tear of the pumps, and typically makes pump problems more obvious when they arise. The runtime meters, high-water alarm cues and alarm dialer (when applicable) are also triggered by this panel.  before pumping. This setup is not typical of most lift stations.  Proposed changes:  Replacement of two existing pump starters with one new duplex pump control panel  Remove existing pump starters and other unnecessary components. Install new 10HP/230V/3PH control panel to include:  NEMA 1 enclosure Square D soft starters  ***This is a solution proposed by the Town of Aurora and another party to correct issues with the generator starting the pump.
