Abstract
To date, there is no standardised test available, which assesses the actual performance of a pump for wastewater (especially its clog resistance) as well as providing references about its efficiency. The developed testing procedure presented in this paper can display the different levels of performance for different pumps. The functionality of the pump, together with its efficiency is aggregated to the Function Efficiency Index (FEI). The FEI is thus a holistic parameter to describe a wastewater pump and enables a revaluation of the technologies available on the market.
