    • Best practices include:
      • Annual Flow Test: Conduct an annual flow test at 100%, 150%, and churn conditions to ensure the pump meets performance criteria.
      • Weekly Inspection: Perform weekly inspections to check for leaks, pressure levels, and proper operation of the controller.
      • Monthly Testing: Run the pump monthly to ensure it starts and operates correctly, verifying parameters such as pressure and flow rate.
      • Record Keeping: Maintain detailed records of all tests, inspections, and maintenance activities.
