13.45.2 "Backup operation"
Backup operation is possible with two pumps of
same size and type connected in parallel. Each
pump requires a non-return valve in series with the
pump.
One pump is operating continuously. The backup
pump is operated for a short time each day to
prevent seizing up. If the duty pump stops due to a
fault, the backup pump starts.
