Pump area (Water Overlay)

Icon	Key	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	PUMP_AREA	boolean		When true the Pump is spread across the entire building surface.	0

• 

  A pump consisting of one line area, with one entry point for the lower and one for the upper Water level areas. It only used a single cell to subtract water from, which might not be enough.

• 

  The base type overlay indicating that only one cell is used to subtract water from.

• 

  A pump consisting of two separate areas, one for the lower and one for the upper Water level areas. It uses a lower level threshold and requires multiple grid cells to subtract enough water. It is configured as a PUMP_AREA.

• 

  The base type overlay indicating that this pump now uses multiple cells to subtract water from.

Notes

• Selecting this option is useful when the PUMP_Q value is too large for a single cell.
• This requires the pump to consist of 2 discrete polygons. This can either be as a single section with 2 seperate polygons, or as 2 seperate sections with 1 polygon each.

Troubleshooting

• Troubleshoot: Configured lower threshold for pump is not reached
