What type of pump is required to function as a jockey (pilot) pump on a Hydro MPC?
- A.
  
  CRE
- B.
  
  CR
- C.
  
  A pump larger that the "main pumps"
- D.
  
  We don't offer a jockey pump on a Hydro MPC
Correct Answer
A. CRE

Explanation
The correct answer is CRE. A jockey pump is a small pump that is used to maintain system pressure in a water distribution system. It operates at a lower flow rate and higher pressure compared to the main pumps. The Hydro MPC is a multi-pump controller, and the CRE pump is specifically designed for jockey pump applications. Therefore, the CRE pump is the appropriate type of pump required to function as a jockey pump on a Hydro MPC.

What is the most cost effective way to use several same sized pumps and one large pump (for emergency flow) on a Hydro MPC?
- A.
  
  Use two CU351 controllers
- B.
  
  Use PC Tools to change the priority of the large pump
- C.
  
  Can't be done
- D.
  
  Use the standby pump function
Correct Answer
B. Use PC Tools to change the priority of the large pump

Explanation
Using PC Tools to change the priority of the large pump allows for the most cost-effective way to use several same-sized pumps and one large pump on a Hydro MPC. By changing the priority, the system can be set up to use the smaller pumps for regular operation and switch to the large pump only in case of emergency or high flow demand. This ensures efficient use of resources and minimizes energy consumption, making it a cost-effective solution.
