    The third Sunday in June is Father’s Day, or as it’s referred to in my household, leave-dad-alone day. Is  there a better way to celebrate fathers everywhere than by sharing a small collection of my favorite dad jokes Probably, but here are a couple jokes anyway that you’ll probably hate yourself for laughing at: -I have a fear of elevators, but I've started taking steps to avoid it. -I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down. -Reversing the car really takes me back. -Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon Great food, no atmosphere. -Want to hear a joke about construction I'm still working on it. -When does a joke become a dad joke When the punch line becomes apparent. -How long does it take to make butter An echurnity! -What do you call someone who dresses up like a noodle An impasta! Now that we’ve gotten those out of the way, let’s talk about some awesome manly-alpha-male gifts you can get for your dad for Father's Day. You could always go with something traditional and boring like a fishing pole or an autographed baseball. Or maybe (I'm just throwing this out there) you could get him a shiny new pump! PumpProducts.com carries the best pumps in the industry from the most trusted names like Goulds and Liberty. You’re dad will be so excited, trust me. Pumps truly are the gifts that keep on giving!

  • Happy Flag Day from Pump Products!

    June 13, 2018

    June 14th is the day we celebrate Old Glory. While not a federal holiday, Flag Day marks the anniversary of that day in 1777, when the Continental Congress adopted the stars and stripes through the First Flag Act. Though the flag’s design has officially changed 27 times over the course of its history, the stars and stripes have come to symbolize the liberty and freedom that form the foundation of American ideals. The current iteration of the flag has been in service since 1960, which is the longest duration of any design. It’s common knowledge that there’s one star for every state and one stripe for each original colony but many people aren’t as familiar with what the colors symbolize. Red represents hardiness and valor; white represents purity and blue symbolizes vigilance and justice. Started by a Wisconsin school teacher in 1885, Flag Day is usually celebrated with parades and people proudly displaying red, white, and blue above their homes. Looking at all the different versions of the flag that have existed, is like taking a trip down memory lane for America. The various designs detail the history of the country and what had to be achieved in order for the United States to become what it is today. There’s a saying about parades and how everyone enjoys them. Flag Day acts as a sort of precursor to July 4th. Sights and smells of barbecues and pool parties start to become more common, reminding us that summer is in full swing. June 14th also coincidentally marks the birthday of the United States Military as well. If you’d like to be patriotic on Flag Day and celebrate, there are a few rules of etiquette to follow when displaying your flag: -Flags are traditionally only supposed to be displayed in public from sunrise to sunset. -After sunset, it can stay up but needs to be illuminated. -Flags cannot be displayed during rain, snow, or wind storms, unless it is an all-weather flag. -The flag should be raised briskly and lowered ceremoniously.

  • Pump Products Celebrates Memorial Day

    May 24, 2018

    Memorial Day weekend is a special time for all Americans. It’s represents a time to look ahead, into the coming summer, but also a time to reflect on the past. Perhaps more than anything, it’s a time to be thankful. Every last Monday in May we remember and celebrate the lives of servicemen and women who have fallen in the line of duty. Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day has been a tradition since near the end of the Civil War though the day didn’t achieve the status of federal holiday until 1971. The exact origins of the day and where it was first celebrated are unclear but Waterloo, New York was officially declared the birthplace of the day by Lyndon Johnson in 1966. It wasn’t until World War I that the holiday evolved into commemorating troops lost not only in the Civil War, but across all armed conflicts the United States has been a part of. A popular symbol of Memorial Day, the red poppy, was inspired by a poem entitled “We Shall Keep the Faith” by Moina Michael: Oh! You who sleep in Flanders fields, Sleep sweet – to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders field And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead Fear not that ye have died for naught; We’ll teach the lesson that you wrought Moina Michael was the first to wear the red poppy. One thing led to another and soon enough they were mass produced and became a universal symbol of remembering fallen soldiers. Memorial Day weekend also signals the official start of summer vacation. Summer brings images of waves rolling over sizzling sand, ice cream dripping timidly down the side of a cone onto the sidewalk, and smoke rising from charcoal that’s busy cooking food for the family barbeque. Memorial Day is a time to enjoy what our freedom affords us. So go to the beach, spend time with family and enjoy yourself. Most of all enjoy the sweet gift of having Monday off work. Pump Products would like to salute all those who have served our country and preserved the freedom and liberty that we enjoy every day.

  • Happy Mother’s Day from Pump Products!

    May 11, 2018

    Every second Sunday in May marks the day when we celebrate that special lady in our lives. Or if you’re like me, it’s a day of panic and guilt when you realize you haven’t gotten her a gift yet. Thank God for one day shipping! Unlike people, pumps aren’t just dropped off by storks. Pumps have gone through various evolutions and designs throughout the course of human history. In the spirit of being topical, PumpProducts.com is celebrating this year’s Mother’s Day by talking about the mother of all pumps! I give you... the shadoof.  What is a shadoof you ask  It is the earliest known ancestor of the pump. The shadoof was used by ancient Egyptians as early as 2000 BC. If the Archimedean screw pump is the aunty of modern pumps then I guess the shadoof is more like the grandma. It’s basically a long pole with a bucket hanging from a rope at the end of it. The bucket’s main purpose was to move water from bodies of water onto land for irrigation. Water could also be transferred between different bodies of H2O. In some cases waterproof animal skins were mustered since ancient people didn’t have access to advanced bucket technology. A counterweight, made of such substances as clay or stone, was attached to the shorter end of the stick, giving it a sort of see-saw like resemblance. A shadoof is simple enough to use. A person just pulled on the rope, lowering the bucket into water and allowing the counterweight to raise the bucket. Shadoofs are even still in use in some countries today! Are pump’s responsible for civilization I’ll let you be the judge…but yes they totally are! The ability to move water made irrigation and farming more achievable which supported greater populations in the ancient world. To get back to my main point though, which is you should probably get your mom something nice this year. Of course, nothing let’s your mother know you love her more than a brand spanking new pump or shadoof.  Actually you probably shouldn’t get her a shadoof. It’s probably more fun to say than to use. Plus you can find a good Goulds pump with a better GPM at PumpProducts.com. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there from everyone at PumpProducts.com!

  • PumpProducts.com Celebrates Clean Water Initiatives for World Water Day

    March 22, 2018

    World Water Day Today is World Water Day, one of the most important days on the calendar for the water, wastewater, plumbing and pumping system communities. This commemorative day was established relatively recently – the 2018 celebration marks the 25th anniversary – but it is no less important because of its youth. It is a day that all of us at PumpProducts.com and in the wider water community are proud to promote. What Is World Water Day World Water Day is a day that calls attention to the need for universal access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene, particularly in developing countries. Easy and constant access to clean water is something that many of us in the U.S. or other rich nations may sometimes take for granted. Unfortunately, that access is something many populations across the globe cannot imagine. In many locations, people trek for miles to access clean water and carry heavy containers of this water back to their families or their villages.  Many times violence even breaks out over the lack of water supplies and the need for the clean water.  Others try to make do subsisting off of the contaminated water and often times end up sick due to bacteria and disease that is lingering in the unclean water.  You don’t need to be a scientist to understand how important clean water is for healthy lives, fair economic development and social stability. A wide variety of events are staged across the globe in the effort to raise awareness. You can see a full list of the events at worldwaterday.org. Some of the highlights include: Many communities around the world don’t have access to clean water -Slovakia holding a “Water Olympics” -A tree planting drive in the Philippines -Global water dances in Ghana -A walk for water in Hong Kong -Various panels, workshops, lecture series and documentary screenings on the importance of clean water in a number of countries These events and activities are coordinated by UN-Water under the umbrella of a theme. Past themes include “Women and Water,” “Groundwater: The Invisible Resource,” “Water and Disasters,” Water and Sustainable Energy” and many more themes that draws attention to the way water impacts our world. 2018 World Water Day Theme: Nature and Water This year’s theme is “Nature and Water” and the focus is on how the natural world could potentially provide some answers for the many water problems facing the world today. Some of the proposed nature-based solutions to water issues include protecting and restoring wetlands, reforestation, improved irrigation and a general focus on green energy-efficient infrastructure. While the WWD concerns mostly about water problems in developing countries, the decline of wetlands is an issue that affects many developed countries such as the U.S. as well. It was widely asserted that the development boom that eliminated much of the natural wetlands in Houston, TX, may have exacerbated the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Whether that theory is true in the specific case of Harvey is up for debate, but there is a broad scientific consensus that wetlands in general are important resources for absorbing storm water. The overall decline of wetlands is something that should concern all Americans.     Water Organizations World Water Day is about raising awareness.  Awareness is certainly a powerful first step in enacting true change. If you want to make a direct impact, consider donating directly to an organization that works to address the problems many communities face in obtaining and keeping access to clean water. PumpProducts.com is encouraging our employees and customers to find a water organization to support. Here are some suggestions: –charity:water: A non-profit dedicated to improving access to clean water by developing community projects in locations of need. This organization is noted for accountability and transparency. Privately funded, charity:water claims that 100% of donated money directly funds water projects. –Water.org: This organization is focused on empowering communities to get access to clean water through “sustainable financial solutions” such as affordable loans and credit. Water.org boasts a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and emphasizes the need for a long term solution to the clean water problem. –Xylem Watermark: Watermark is the charity and volunteer division of Xylem, which manufactures our Goulds Water Technology pumps. Xylem Watermark boasts high marks for employee engagement and works on school/community projects, clean water education and emergency response projects. PumpProducts.com is proud to be a distributor for a fine company like Xylem.                                                                                                                 Clean water for all is a noble goal Those are just some of our suggestions. A wide variety of organizations dedicated to solving this problem exist. You also might get more satisfaction from getting involved with local water efforts. Either way, we hope you look into World Water Day and continue to support the cause to ensure clean water for all.

  • Pump Madness: Watch Basketball and Save on Pumps!

    March 14, 2018

    It is time for fancy no-look passes, buzzer beaters, walk-ons becoming stars, shots of despondent college freshmen in the stands and of course, that “One Shining Moment” when the champions of college basketball are crowned. That’s right, March Madness, one of the most exciting sports events of the year, is finally back!  Besides the action on the court, March Madness is known for mass participation in pools. Friends, coworkers, the girls at the salon, your church group, your prison shuffleboard team - everybody is filling out a bracket. While the basketball and pools are all well and good, there is still something missing. Who among us has not thought, while watching a mid-major from nowhere upset Duke, “I wish this helped me save money on pumps somehow.” Well fear not, because that moment is here. This year we’re introducing a great way to get discounts on pumps while also enjoying college basketball. We call it PUMP MADNESS. What Is Pump Madness If you’ve ever filled out a bracket before, you know that there are four regions (East, South, Midwest and West) consisting of 16 teams each. Each region is further subdivided into two groups or "pods" of eight teams each. You can see a visual representation in the official NCAA bracket here: Each pod is separated into a different colored box for your convenience and to help you visualize the concept. We made our own bracket, but with pumps instead of basketball teams. One pump type was assigned to represent each pod of teams. So there are eight different pump types (sump, transfer, sewage, booster, well, condensate, grinder and effluent) representing eight different pods. Now that you understand the relationship between the pods and the pumps, the savings come into play at the end of the tournament, when the winner is crowned. Whichever team cuts down the nets, will also create a discount at PumpProducts.com for the pump type of their regional pod. For instance, if top seeded Virginia (from the South 1 Sump Pump region) finally puts its tournament demons to rest and wins it all, PumpProducts.com will offer a 5% discount on all sump pumps in our online catalog. If the North Carolina Tar Heels (West 2 Effluent Pump region) repeat as champions, there will be a 5% discount on all effluent pumps, and so on. We thought of matching all 64 teams with 64 pump models but thought that may too ambitious. Maybe for future tournaments. The discount cuts across all brands and will be in effect for a full week after the championship game (April 3-April 10, 2018). There is no minimum order threshold and PumpProducts.com will reveal how to apply the discount after the championship, so stay tuned. Here's the full list of pump regions and the teams represented by each pump: -SUMP PUMP REGION (SOUTH 1): Virginia, UMBC, Creighton, K-State, Kentucky, Davidson, Arizona, Buffalo -TRANSFER PUMP REGION (SOUTH 2): Miami, Loyola of Chicago, Tennessee, Wright St., Nevada, Texas, Cincinnati, Georgia St. -SEWAGE PUMP REGION (EAST 1): Villanova, Radford, Va. Tech, Alabama, West Virginia, Murray St., Wichita St., Marshall -BOOSTER PUMP REGION (EAST 2): Florida, St. Bonaventure, Texas Tech, Stephen F. Austin, Arkansas, Butler, Purdue, Cal State Fullerton -WELL PUMP REGION (MIDWEST 1): Kansas, UPenn, Seton Hall, N.C. State, Clemson, New Mexico St., Auburn, Charleston -CONDENSATE REMOVAL PUMP REGION (MIDWEST 2): TCU, Syracuse, Michigan St., Bucknell, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Duke, Iona -GRINDER PUMP REGION (WEST 1): Xavier, Texas Southern, Missouri, FSU, Ohio State, South Dakota St., Gonzaga, UNC-Greensboro -EFFLUENT PUMP REGION (WEST 2): Houston, San Diego St., Michigan, Montana, Texas A&M, Providence, North Carolina, Lipscomb You can also see if there are any storylines that associate a pump with a certain team or region. Wouldn't it be fitting if Kansas won a well pump discount for everyone who relies on well water in rural areas March Madness becomes April Savings The purpose of Pump Madness is to give our customers the hope of pump savings while they follow along with March Madness. Knocked out of your office pool on the first day The old alma mater let you and the rest of the Class of 1983 down again Never fear, because you’ll still have a reason to follow  the tournament. Just root for the team championed by the pump you need. Whether you're a homeowner who has been waiting for a price drop to buy that backup sump pump or a building manager thinking of buying new grinder pumps in bulk for your sewage system, pay attention! This could be an opportunity for great savings. Technically, the action doesn't really get going until the Elite Eight next weekend, but we wanted to give you a little taste of the excitement beforehand. You can enjoy the first weekend of the tournament without stressing about the pump you need and you don’t even have to make any picks! That's the beauty of Pump Madness. You don't have to do anything but be patient, watch the games and root for your favorite teams (or pumps). So get into gear; Pump Madness is here!

  • Pump Products Films™ Debuts New “Meet the Team” Video Project

    January 5, 2018

    In the age of rapid and expansive ecommerce, it can sometimes be hard to know who to trust. The product pictures you see online is merely a pixelated simulacrum of the real thing; the words you read describing the product just a collection of 0s and 1s. For all you know, everything you view or purchase online could be a surreptitious attempt to download poisonous malware to your computer. In the old days, you'd walk or bike to the old corner store, say hello to Buck behind the counter and pickup your product. You could touch it, smell it, feel the texture, the weight and shape of the thing. Now you just click a button, sit and weight and hope the void answers you back. It's not just ecommerce. All over the globe, in every possible industry or enterprise, the machine keeps building while mankind stares blankly at our screens, bathed in a warming glow that leaves us insensate, mute and apathetic. We will not colonize the stars; our drones will. What I'm saying is that it's still important to have a human touch even in this crazy technologically fueled era. Human interaction is good for the soul and brain and it allows for things like context, nuance and extenuating circumstances. This is especially the case when you're handing over your hard earned money in exchange for a product. You want to know that the person you're buying from knows and what he or she is talking about. Pumps are perhaps the most pertinent example of an absolutely necessary product that many people do not understand. Trying to buy online can be confusing as well, because many pumps look the same and have similar operating parameters. That's why our staff of knowledgeable and dedicated application engineers are so important. These brave and handsome men talk to customers and get to know the inner workings of a system to ensure that everyone gets the right pump. In order to get to know the people you're talking to, Pump Products Films™ is creating short videos introducing you to our application engineers. Created by the legendary auteur director "Mike," theses videos will offer you a raw, bracing, no-holds barred look at the life of a Pump Products application engineer. At the end you will emerge changed and better for the experience. All in a minute or less! Here are the first two videos in the series: Nick is one of our longest-serving and most experienced team members. He has an extensive background in pumps and plumbing, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge of parts, models and pump series. Nick always makes sure to take detailed notes on any case and always follows up with customers promptly. He is considered one of the "go-to" guys in the office. Lee is well-known for his witty sense of humor and excellent phone manner. He puts customers at ease and lets them know he can be trusted to get them the pump they need. If you're looking for a laugh and nice conversation with your pump order, call up our man Lee. Both Nick and Lee or any of our talented application engineers are ready and eager to help customers get the pumps they need.
