Patent attributes
A remote pump manager is provided. The remote pump manager includes pressure sensors or a depth sensor operating to determine the change in pressure of a pump, a flow sensor operating to determine flow rate of fluid exiting the pump, a power meter operating to determine power data related to operation of the pump, and a management device having a programmable logic controller and a display. The pressure sensors, the flow sensor and the power meter are in communication with the management device. The management device operates to determine pump efficiencies, wherein the programmable logic controller automatically determines pump efficiency data in response to receiving real time data from the pressure sensors, the flow sensor and the power meter and automatically delivers the pump efficiency data to the display for displaying the determined pump efficiency data.
