Many EASA members perform service on pumps of some type and have had the customer return the pump or call back to say it leaks or it still will not pump. We solved this by making a very inexpensive test center for all types of pumps: flooded suction, immersion lube, submersible, centrifugal, deep well and many others.

We purchased the material for less than $300 and it took less than half a day to install. The system we put together was based on an average size of the pumps we need to test most often.
