The Goulds 1DV series and 2DV Series Sewage Pumps are versatile vortex sewage pumps that can be used in either simplex or duplex installations located in small lift stations, drainage systems or general "raw water" applications (natural water in the environment that has not been treated). These pumps can be used in a wide variety of heavy use applications, such as homes, farms, motels, schools, and hospitals. 1DV and 2DV Series can also serve well as part of a municipal package system and in industrial level treatment systems. Because of potential heavy use and exposure to harsh environments, these pumps place a premium on tough, well-designed construction. The volute for each Sewage Pump is a corrosion resistant, long lasting AISI 304 stainless steel. The impeller is made of the same and is of a vortex design to better handle waste solids. All models listed below operate manually and come with a 20 ft. power cord. Goulds 1DV and 2DV Series Sewage Pumps Model Comparison Chart Model Discharge (NPT) HP Voltage Phase GPM Max.

Welcome to Inspector Pumphead’s Frequently Asked Questions! In this feature, I will be answering some of the most common questions we get on a specific topic. Some of this information may be available elsewhere on our site, but hopefully the FAQ category will act as a convenient one-stop source. In this edition, I'll discuss whether it's a good idea to increase your pumps horsepower for an existing system. Q: Should I get a more powerful pump (in terms of HP) than my old one Customers looking to replace a pump are often looking for an upgrade. It’s perfectly natural and could apply to virtually any other consumer driven field. People don’t want to settle for the old thing, they want newer, bigger, flasher. When it comes to pumps, “upgrading” could mean a variety of different changes. One of the most frequent requests we get from people looking to change is for a higher horsepower pump. Many have the conception that more power is always a good thing or that increased HP will lead to more pressure. While this can sometimes work out, upping the horsepower can often lead to damage to your pump or system. Increased motor power can lead to the pump running “dry.” That means evacuating the water in a pit/basin at an unsustainable rate, to the extent that the basin is emptied before it can be replenished. That leaves your pump essentially sucking on air. Water acts as both a coolant and lubricating agent. When a pump runs dry it can overheat causing the internal components to damage or spark due to friction. Of course, there are pumps that can be run dry intermittently, such as the Goulds WS_D3 Sewage Pumps. But my larger point is about proper sizing, which is something we here at PumpProducts.com emphasize often. Knowing your system, your application and all the precise requirements will ensure you get the right pump for your application and that the pumps runs to its most efficient possible use. Bigger is not always better. Pump Products application engineers are standing by to help you find the right pump, as well as to provide price quotes, availability and shipping information.

1969: Man walks on the moon. 1971: man walks on the moon... uh, again. Then for a long time, nothing happened. Until now. Get ready for a seminal moment in American history, one that you will remember for the rest of your life.  I’ve been through a lot of crazy adventures in my life as Inspector Pumphead. There have been so many seminal moments...  In 1968, I argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that not allowing my company to transport pumps across state lines was an illegal restraint of trade - and I won, thus changing the face of pump distribution forever. I am the man who introduced the booster pump to Japan, the chemical resistant pump to Bolivia and the concept of indoor plumbing to Antarctica. I remain an editor-at-large for the International Pump Review of Books where I have championed such critically acclaimed works as The Piping Corrections, The Sound and the Fury (of Your Plumbing System) and A Portrait of the Plumber as a Young Man. Along with some of my friends from other countries, I helped found the International Plumbing Games™, which is now one of the most popular athletic events in the world and draws in over a billion television viewers every four years. It’s been quite a wild ride and I treasure every memory. Still, before now, I have always preferred to maintain the veil of mystery. I usually let my trained disciples, the Application Engineers, speak to you. Until NOW!                                                                         That’s right, I, Inspector Pumphead speak! This is a moment that will be long remembered in American history.

Welcome to Inspector Pumphead’s Classroom! In this series, I will discuss various aspects of pumps, pumping technology and the pump industry. I'm here to school you on pumps. So pull up a chair, open up your notebook and grab a pen - it’s time for class! Wastewater Graywater or effluent is “used” water that does not touch any urine or fecal matter. Most of the water fixtures in your home will produce graywater. Sinks, washing machines, laundry discharge, shower water - all of that is considered graywater. Different pump types are capable of handling graywater and the solids therein; in a general sense, effluent pumps, sump pumps and dewatering pumps are capable of handling graywater. While we always recommend that you purchase a pump matched specifically to your application, there is some crossover. A good example is the Zoeller 53-0001 Mighty Mate which is listed as an effluent pump but can also be used for general dewatering applications. A good rule of thumb to remember is that effluent pumps are capable of handling up to ¾” solids.  This is good because things such as soap scum, oil, grease, laundry detergent residue and other particulates often accumulate in the wide variety of water fixtures that produce graywater. Sewage, by contrast is typically only produced in toilets, at least at the residential level. Sewage is defined as any used water which is touched by human waste like urine and fecal matter. Unlike graywater, which is recycled through usable systems, sewage water is exported for treatment. This exported sewage can go to either a septic tank or a city sewer line.  As would be expected, you need a sewage pump to pump sewage out of your home or building if you do not have a gravity line. Sewage pumps are built to handle and transport 2” diameter waste solids. Grinder pumps are a subcategory of sewage pumps equipped with a cutting system that chops waste solids into a fine slurry for higher head export. Unlike the crossover effect with effluent pumps,sewage and grinder pumps should really only be used for sewage water. So if you didn’t know before, you now know the difference between graywater and sewage water and what type of pump you need for each. Knowing is half the battle - that’s the promise of Inspector Pumphead’s classroom baby!

It’s time for golf’s British Open! Held at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England, this major tournament is steeped in history and tradition. In addition to being the oldest of the Majors, it is also the only one of the major championships to be held outside of the United States. The British Open is also often called the Open Championship. So, who will win  This Open is typically known for producing windy conditions. High rise dunes at the Birkdale course will also be challenging. The conditions suggest that aggressive golfers who can take advantage of the high winds and slow greens can actually benefit. Historically, older golfers have had much success and outperformed expectations at the Open. For now, however, the odds makers are favoring two youngsters, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy. They are two of the most dominant golfers of the past few years, however both are coming off of U.S. Open disappointments when they (and others) made headlines for missing the cut. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the adversity.  In golf, the mental setbacks are often more challenging than the physical ones. Burgeoning superstar Jordan Spieth has also emerged from his recent struggles and is the third favorite to take the Open. Spieth is one of the most popular younger players on the tour and comes armed with a boatload of endorsements to boot. It will be interesting to contrast his performance with those of Johnson and McIlroy. As mentioned above, older players generally find some success at this particular tournament, so it won’t just be the young guns making noise. Sergio Garcia is still riding the emotional wave from his breakthrough Masters win. Rickie Fowler, Jason Day and Adam Scott are... still around. And after missing out on the past few Majors, fan favorite Phil Mickelson is back to compete. All in all, it should be a wild and fun tournament.
