Title
Centennial Aquatic Center Pool Pumps
History
The new pool pumps at Centennial Pool were installed on June 16, 2012 by Controlled Environmental Systems of Orland Park. Pumps were delivered later than expected due to a manufacturer back log. As the installation began, staff observed that the pumps were too long to allow for the discharge lines. Specifications for the pumps were taken off the original set of prints for the facility, however it was discovered that the pits were not actually built to specifications.
The change in length required that the base of the pumps be elevated and piping be fabricated for the discharge lines in order to allow for the removal of the strainer baskets for cleaning. The extra cost for this work includes material and labor to configure the pumps for an appropriate fit. Much of the work had to be completed after the pool was closed, thus requiring overtime charges.
All of the affected pumps are up and running at this time. Centennial Park Aquatic Center has eleve (11) pumps in total. Six (6) pumps have now been replaced since 2011 and the other five (5) pumps will be scheduled for replacement in the coming two years. The replacement is critical to keeping the pool operating efficiently.
