Here’s another minty-fresh edition of everyone’s favorite semi-recurring content feature: Inspector Pumphead’s Quick Tips! Inspector Pumphead says make sure your pump has a warranty before you purchase In this space, I, Inspector Pumphead from Pump Products, will be sending out friendly reminders and dispensing basic tips for ordering, maintaining and servicing pumps. The Inspector is in and here to help! Quick Tip: Many online pump vendors do not honor or service warranty claims.  Imagine, if you will, the feeling of finally receiving the brand new Zoeller sump pump you ordered a few days ago from PumpProducts.com. The look! The feel! The smell! The high quality engineering! And of course, nothing can beat the feeling of knowing that all your sump application needs will be met by a sturdy, reliable and high performing pump. But then… the unthinkable happens. Something cracks or breaks. It may be a seal or a bearing. Or maybe the pump just seems to stop running. You check and make sure that there’s nothing clogging the pipes. There is definitely something wrong with your brand new pump and you don’t know what to do. Forgiveness, please, for bringing up such a terrifying nightmare scenario. It’s scary and I don’t want to expose anyone to trauma. The intrepid shipping team at PumpProducts.com works hard to check that every pump that leaves our warehouse is in fine working condition (and it should be noted that Zoeller also factory tests all pumps before they are shipped). But still, we live in a broken and imperfect world. These things happen. That’s why PumpProducts.com has a whole department dedicated to processing warranty claims for all of our manufacturing partners. These dedicated professionals will take all the pertinent information about your pump order, fill out the attendant paperwork and communicate with the factory to make sure you get a replacement pump in a timely manner. As a premier distributor we are authorized to file these claims. We go above and beyond for our customers. The thing you should understand is that many big online vendors may list the same pumps at similar prices but without a warranty backing those orders up. If something goes wrong with the pump, you would have very little recourse for obtaining a replacement. You might just have to pay the cost of a full new pump. We all hope to make it through life unscathed, but unfortunately what can go wrong often will go wrong. That’s why it’s important to have experienced professionals on your side, working to make things right. And if you want a little extra peace of mind, a battery backup pump is always a fine choice. Pump Products sales specialists are standing by to help you find the right pump or part, as well as to provide price quotes, stocking availability and shipping information.

Welcome to Inspector Pumphead’s Frequently Asked Questions! I will be answering some of the most common questions we get on a specific topic. Some of this information may also be available elsewhere, but this feature will serve as a convenient one-stop source. Today, I'll be giving a simple explanation of what dual voltage ratings mean for your pump. Why do some of your pumps listed say 208-230 volts or 208-230/460  You may see this listing on any number of our pumps, such as in the Liberty grinder pump ProVore/Omnivore series. This type of listing shows that the pump's AC motor is rated for dual voltage service, meaning that the pump can be safely run at any of the listed voltages. So if your pump motor plate says 208-230, you know that your pump must run within the range of those two voltages. Note that while the pump will be able to run on either voltage, the amperage draw will differ depending on which voltage you choose. Tri voltage (208-230/460) motors are also available for some pumps. Single voltage motors must be run at the specified voltage listing, but there is room for a little leeway - about 10% more or less than the listed voltage. This is called the service factor and allows for minor fluctuations in your power level due to various outside factors. Keep in mind that single phase motors can be either 115 or 230 volt, while three phase motors can be 208, 230, 460 volt or higher. Also note that 208-230 and 208/230 denote the same thing. Different manufacturers use different notation and PumpProducts.com abides by the manufacturer's description. This is a general overview of what you should look for when purchasing a pump on our site. Motors and electricity can get tricky, so as always, be sure to consult a certified electrician for any of your pressing motor issues or questions. Pump Products application engineers are standing by to help you find the right pump, as well as to provide price quotes, stocking availability and shipping information.

The Omnivore LSG200-series grinder pumps are designed for use in systems that produce high amounts of wastewater. Think motels, apartment complexes, hotels, shopping centers - any type of facility, whether commercial or residential, with high-frequency usage and high volume of waste. $(document).ready(function(){ $("td").css("border", "1px solid black") }); LSG200 series pumps are constructed with a sturdy one-piece uni-body cast iron housing, while the impeller is 316 stainless steel. The impeller contains back vanes (or pump out vanes) to better clear solids. The pumps also features dual seals - one unitized silicon carbide, the other Viton double-lip - for extra protection from solids. Each model uses Liberty’s patented V-Slice cutter to macerate waste solids. The cutter is constructed of hardened 440 stainless steel - Rockwell C 58 and can perform up to 108 alternated cuts per revolution - perfect for turning waste solids into a fine slurry to be collected and transported. This video demonstrates the powerful macerating ability of the Omnivore's cutter. The pumps operates at 2 HP and features a 1-¼” discharge. Depending on the model, the pump could operate at 208-230 volts, 208/230 volts, 440-480 volts, or 575 volts. Each model operates at either one or three phases of power. The LSG202M and LSG202A have internal capacitors, so they do not need an external control. The LSG202M-C has an external capacitor so that model requires an additional control panel. The LSGX-series variations are ideal for multi-unit land developments that share a sewage system, such as apartment complexes. LSGX pumps are similar to their cousins the LSG200, except that they are 2-stage pumps designed for high head applications. 2-stage simply means that each LSGX pump has two stainless steel impellers. The double impellers increase the velocity and can drive the maximum head up to 180 feet. Both the LSG200 and the LSGX are constructed with the same construction materials, outer dimensions, and V-Slice cutter technology. Both series also have the same guide rail configuration. Thus, Omnivore pumps are easily interchangeable within the same basin and guide rail system. All models in the LSG200-series and LSGX-series come with three-year warranties serviced by Liberty.

Know Your Repair Parts: Flanges Nothing in life lasts forever. Luckily Pump Products sells a variety of repair parts and accessories guaranteed to restore life to your pump or system. Today’s topic: flanges. What are flanges Flanges are used to connect pipes to pumps, valves, and other components. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to specifically suit different applications. Flanges can be made of such materials as bronze, cast-iron, stainless steel, and brass. Below you will find a brief description of some of the more common types of flanges. Types of flanges Slip On Flange Slip on flanges are slipped over a pipe and fillet welded from both the inside and the outside to strengthen the connection. These flanges are suitable for low temperature and pressure applications. Slip on flanges come at a low cost and require less accuracy when cutting a pipe to length. Threaded Flanges Threaded flanges are fast and simple to attach. Threaded flanges are similar to slip on flanges however the bore is threaded which allows for assembly without welding. This type of flange is not suitable for high pressure and high temperature applications. Lap Joint Flange Lap joint flanges are divided into two parts, a stub end and loose backing flange. The stub end is butt welded to a pipe and the backing flange can move freely over the pipe. Lap joint flanges are used in applications where space is minimal and intermittent dismantling is necessary for fixes and inspection. Welding Neck Flange Welding neck flanges are designed to be joined to a piping system by butt welding. They tend to be more expensive but are suited for high pressure applications as they feature the greatest joint integrity. Pressures are transferred from the flange to the pipe. The inner diameter of the flange matches the piping’s diameter, which also reduces turbulence and erosion. Socket Weld Flanges Socket weld flanges are similar to slip on flanges. Pipe is fitted into the female sockets and fillet welded around the hub of the flange. Socket weld flanges are preferable for smaller pipes and high pressure applications. An internal weld can be applied in certain extreme pressure applications. Blind Flange Blind flanges do not feature bores and are used to seal an end of a piping system or opening. They are most common when easy access is needed for inspection. Flanges are an absolute necessity for ensuring the smooth operation of your system.
