Not all pumps are equal. In positive displacement pumps (eg sludge) may be monitored current, while in centrifugal pumps may be necessary to complete the vibration data collection.
Once you found the main variable able to predict the failure of our installation can be supplemented with other already mentioned: temperature, flow, pressure, torque, speed, acceleration, noise ...
In my opinion, it is essential to understand that a pumping station consists of several parts, at least motor and pump. The failure of one can lead to failure of the pump. And each machine will have some parameters to evaluate their deterioration and predict their next failure.
