Test Facts

Each year, Southern California Edison identifies more than $6 million in potential energy savings for pumping customers like you. That amounts to thousands of dollars in savings per pump on average. We can tell you if your pumping system is operating at peak efficiency, show you ways to decrease energy-operating costs, and offer assistance in obtaining energy-saving adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) that:

  • Decrease operating costs
  • Improve pressure and flow control
  • Increase productivity
  • Provide soft-start capabilities for your pumps
  • Prolong equipment service life
  • Reduce equipment operation noise levels

Pump Test Records Help Local Ranches

In the case of Antelope Valley-based Kyle & Kyle Ranches, more than 20 years of pump test records came in handy when a local water district attempted to implement a groundwater management program in the early 1990s.

In-depth testing measures 15
system parameters.

Local authorities said the water table was dropping dramatically, remembers Julie Kyle, who along with her husband Gailen, farms alfalfa, barley hay and forage mix on more than 1,600 acres near Lancaster.

"By gathering our records and hundreds of tests from other farmers in the area, we were able to prove that the water table had in fact come up approximately 30 feet during a 15-year period," Kyle said.
 "If we hadn't had these records, it could have been a disaster for us."

SCE tests the pumps on Kyle's ranch each August for efficiency. "Even a slight percentage drop can mean there's a problem," she cautions. "It's better to pull the pump and take care of it before the problems affect other equipment."
