Soft vs. Hard Pump Coating—Understanding the Differences

Special coatings are often used on pump casings and wetted pump parts. They can provide additional protection against corrosion and abrasion. The right coating can reduce wear and tear, potentially improving overall equipment performance and extending the life span of the pump. It’s important to understand which of the many different types of pump coatings […]

Avoid Pump Clogs with Anti-Ragging Technology

Ragging and clogging are common problems in wastewater management. Sludge, debris, and non-flushable items can gather and form into rag balls, which can clog pipes, pumps, and filter screens. This causes numerous problems. Water flow can be greatly restricted or stopped altogether in critical lift stations. System performance can suffer, and equipment can experience significant […]

Improve Water Quality with the Right Mechanical Seal

Mechanical seals are crucial components in water treatment pump systems. They minimize the risk of costly pump leaks, which can lead to lost water, lost pump pressure, reduced energy efficiency and damaged equipment. Most importantly for this application, they prevent outside contaminants from entering the water system and compromising your water quality. The Importance of […]

Five Advantages of Low-Shear Pumps

Shearing is a significant factor to consider when it comes to pump selection. Sometimes shearing is necessary, and the pump may be paired with a macerator or shredder to process difficult materials through the pump system. In many other cases, shearing is something you want to avoid. You don’t want your process materials to be […]

7 Things to Know About Boiler Feed Pumps

Boiler feed pumps are the most efficient way to feed specific quantities of water into a steam generator. Boiler systems are used in many different industries.
