Improving Pumping Performance of Variable Frequency Drives
Pumps with variable frequency drives (VFD) are intended to supply water at any flow rate with consistent pressure. Only the pump control was designed for variable capabilities, so the rest of the supply system must be able to support the pump in providing small flows. Check valves are an essential part of the system to control flow and protect the pump and other water system components. Traditional check valves generally do not provide a wide range of variable flow with minimum pressure loss.

Well Design for More Than One Stakeholder
This presentation will address a recent well installation project where a land developer installed a well which will ultimately be conveyed to a municipality. Both had a vested interest in the design of the well. The primary goal for the developer was to maximize the production of the well to meet the water demands of the developing community. At the same time, the municipality was concerned with water quality issues and avoiding fluoride treatment at all costs.

Heavy Equipment Ownership: Annual Costs and Predictive Maintenance
Every piece of equipment has a working life and life cycle--part of the annual cost of ownership. The cost for heavy equipment and support vehicles includes the scheduled maintenance and attention needed to preserve that life cycle and eliminate or minimize downtime. Failure to adhere to prescribed maintenance impacts your drilling and overall business operations and can even prevent you from safely getting to/from the job. Technological advances in tires and low-sulfur and biofuels have altered some maintenance procedures and time frames, so reviewing the manufacturers' suggestions for your "new" equipment is imperative as it could dramatically differ from previous practice.

VFDs - The Magic Pill Myth - Misapplication of VFDs
Most application failures are not caused by a one-time event but rather a cumulative effect of running in a specific condition that exceeds the design. It is up to us to know the limits of our pumping equipment and how to properly size the equipment for the application, the drive does not care. What a VFD cannot do is allow your equipment to run outside of its design point without consequence, and you will learn how to avoid the consequence.

Innovative Techniques for Well Design - Not for the Faint of Heart
What are your first steps when designing a well, and why? Do you gravitate toward the time-honored approaches and techniques which could possibly have a weak scientific foundation? Or do you first consider techniques that have a strong scientific basis but have not yet earned a marker on the popularity scale. Just like each well is different, you may need to expand your well design thinking beyond a one size fits all approach. You will learn how to evaluate the science in contrast to practical application in various situations when determining the procedures and techniques you will employ.

Energy Based Hazard Identification
What if there was a simple and free tool that can help you train employees to identify hazards in their work area? This tool is the energy wheel. Energy based hazard identification is not new. Using energy sources to identify hazards in the work area has been used as a hazard identification tool by many companies for quite some time. The concept is to use these main sources of energy to identify hazards in the workplace. Studies show that workers only identify about 45% of hazards in their work area during pre-job safety briefings. Those who use the Energy Wheel find up to 30% more hazards in the work area during pre-task planning. The energy wheel is effective because it provides a simple set of reminders to search for hazards that are commonly overlooked.

Water Well Decommissioning/Sealing
A news report or article of a child falling into a well in the United States or any place in the world immediately piques the interest of those working in the groundwater industry. A well may not be used because it has gone dry, is contaminated, or no longer serves a useful purpose. Decommissioning is the sealing of water wells or boreholes to prevent migration of contamination to the aquifer, including physical safety purposes. One may also hear terms like plug and abandon/seal or well destruction in this context. This webinar will address what decommissioning is; what factors should be considered in the sealing process; and how it can be achieved responsibly as local and state code may require. This offering is recommended for those new to the industry who may be taking well construction exams, as well as for experienced professionals who would benefit from a refresher.

Constructing and Design a Well that is a Good Value to the Owner
Good principles of well construction and design have been proven to be a good value to the owner. The goal of all water-well professionals is to provide the best return on investment for the well owner, this is especially true for high-capacity wells. Inefficient wells are more expensive to own, operate and require more maintenance resulting in downtime. There are many materials that can be used to construct wells ranging from PVC to stainless steels, a good value for the well owner, may or may not be the cheapest well construction. Materials used in construction need to be resistant to corrosion so that the well will last for the period of its intended service life. Proper sizing of the filter pack, screen slot can enhance well production including the use of glass bead filter pack can aid in well development and well efficiency.

We will examine site specific conditions that cause premature failure in pump systems, and how to control the outcome after you leave the job. We will also discuss how surge protection works, and, sometimes fails to work before ending the presentation with an explanation regarding the proper tools to test pump systems, VFDs, and grounding.

Off-Grid Water Pumping - De-Mystifying Solar for You and Your Customer
When discussing solar with both experienced and new-to-industry professionals we see trepidation around the technology. Our goal: Educate on the basics of solar water pumping as it differs from on-grid, and how a driller/installer can maximize revenue while in the field. Discuss what rates of flow are now available and how panels have evolved to improve the business case. Once in the field, discuss effective setup parallel to drilling operation, shop prep vs. field prep, startup practices, and handling failed equipment. Discuss how to educate THEIR customer on expectations from a solar installation to help level set to ensure success. Discuss how Federal/State Tax credits are positively impacting business cases, and what resources are available to use this credit to their advantage. Finish on the future: What's coming and how they can be at the forefront.
