    Instructor:  Mike Yaruzzi Effectively and efficiently diagnosing a centrifugal pump is good for the client as well as the contractor’s business. In many cases, the pump is just replaced without knowing the cause of the problem or failure. Unfortunately, the pump was not the right one for the system and the new pump just fails again. This class will offer advanced pump troubleshooting skills for the irrigation technician to efficiently and effectively identify, and repair common issues associated with centrifugal pump failure.
