Pump payback
In a 2005 study done for a major US city by the Washington D.C. based Alliance to Save Energy they determined that almost every large pump in a distribution system should be changed to a more efficient unit. All would achieve better than a 4 year pay-back and more than half would achieve a 1 to 2 year payback.
