Thompson Pump certified its 21st class of Pumpologists after the Pumpology School held last month at its headquarters in Port Orange, Fla.

Thompson Pump & Manufacturing Co. hosted more than 45 attendees from 16 states and three countries at its 21st annual Pumpology School April 27-29, at its corporate facilities in Port Orange, Fla.

The three-day workshop included training sessions for sales and service-oriented professionals on pumping fundamentals, dewatering and bypass applications, selecting the correct pumping equipment, designing, installing and maintaining pumping systems, troubleshooting, pump maintenance and more.

Pumpology School offers hands-on demonstrations and classroom training from industry experts. Upon completion of training and successfully passing a comprehensive examination, attendees are recognized as certified Pumpologists at an awards ceremony.

“Pumpology School serves as a launching pad to help us form and continually develop lasting relationships with individuals and companies involved in a common industry,” said Bill Thompson, Thompson Pump president.
