G&G Controls Live: the Ask the Experts session
By Tristan Newton, Commercial Director · 26 March 2025 · 1 min read
This session ran on Friday 28 March 2025 and has now taken place. We run free training and CPD sessions regularly; the next one is listed on Training and CPD.
G&G Controls Live was an open question-and-answer session on pump controls, for anyone who specifies, sells, installs or maintains them: sales people, estimators, technical staff and engineers. No slides to sit through and no sales pitch, just our team answering whatever people brought.
What we covered
- Specifying a new panel: what we need from you to quote accurately
- Starting methods, and when direct-on-line stops being the right answer
- Level control: floats, probes, hydrostatic sensors and radar
- Installation and commissioning questions from live projects
- Troubleshooting a panel that is not doing what it should
The questions that came up most often have since been written up properly. How to specify a pump control panel covers the quoting side, choosing the right level sensing covers the level question, and troubleshooting tips for dual pump panel faults covers what to check on site.
Coming along to the next one
These sessions are free and there is no catch: we are a control panel manufacturer and it suits us if the people buying and installing panels know what they are doing. Sessions run online and at our factory in Stoke-on-Trent, and we will come to your offices to run one for your team.
See Training and CPD for what is scheduled, or get in touch and we will put something in the diary.
Written by the engineers at G&G Controls, a UK control panel manufacturer in Stoke-on-Trent. For general guidance only; consult a qualified professional for advice on your own installation.
