On top of this, up to 30% of water in Western countries and 70% in emerging countries is lost to leakages and losses. Half of those losses, if saved, would provide enough water to serve at least 90 million people.

GRUNDFOS OPTIMISATION SERVICES asks “which assessment is right for you?” and continues: Pumps are at the heart of your facilities. Day in and day out, pumps make your business run, but they come at a price. Not so much to purchase, but in the daily operation of the pump. In fact, 85% of the total costs of your pumps relate to the energy used to run the pumps - and there is money to be saved. An Energy Check of your pumps can provide a solid foundation for saving 30-50% on the operational costs of your pumps. Any installation with old, over-sized, inefficient or unsuitable pumps is likely to hide this kind of savings – and the Energy Check helps you discover the potential. Grundfos offers a number of different energy efficiency assessments: Energy Check, Energy Check Advanced, Pump Audit and Thermo Dynamic Testing.
