All the falling confetti, party hats, and noise makers (why do people still use those, seriously) can only mean one thing: goodbye 2018. We laughed, we cried, but now 2019 is around the corner. To say the past year was exciting at PumpProducts.com would be an understatement. Our website got a facelift and we ramped up our motors section (or should I should revved up No Too corny). You know what they say, new year, new you. But some things never change. You can still come to expect the same reliable customer service in 2019 and the wide range of dependable products we offer. If you find yourself looking for a pump, part or accessory during this next year, look no further than PumpProducts.com for all your pump and motor needs. PumpProducts.com’s fearless leader, Inspector Pumphead, will be sipping on champagne and listening to the hit song “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins on New Year’s Eve. He will, of course, start the song at 11:56 so the drum break will play exactly as the clock strikes midnight (the Inspector prefers to start the New Year off right). Then it’s back to work on January 1st. There are pumps to inspect and orders to ship out. For some, the New Year brings a time of reflection and happiness. For others, it’s once again time to start working on that list of resolutions. You know, that list you’ve had for the last couple years and keep telling yourself this is the year I’m going to start that diet and get that six-pack. Not that I would know anything about that. Of course, our list of resolutions at PumpProducts.com includes assisting customers even further and increasing our knowledge on products so our application engineers can answer your questions, no matter what your inquiry may be! To close off 2018, here’s a quick list of facts about the big ball drop in Times Square that you can impress your friends with at your New Year’s Eve party: 11,875 pounds: What the current version of the ball weighs 50,000 watts: The amount of electricity it takes to light up and power the ball 1,000,000,000. The number of people around the world who watch the ball drop 141 feet: The distance the ball falls in 60 seconds 22%: The amount of Americans who are asleep before the ball drop 1907: The ball has dropped every year since All of us at PumpProducts.com hope you had a great 2018 and have an even better 2019!

Happy (almost) New Year’s Eve from Pump Products! It’s that time when we reflect on the events, achievements and memories of the past year and toast to the new year and new opportunities. What are you doing for the New Year I sincerely hope it is something fun with loved ones. Just don’t imbibe too much champagne! As for myself, I’ll be nursing a nice glass of whiskey, looking at old family photos and calling my ex-wife until she lets me see little Pumphead Junior again. Of course you could argue that all the hoopla is really meaningless. It’s just an arbitrary change of the calendar. You fools, you absolute fools! Another year closer to death. But of course, as with anything in life, the meaning comes from what you decide to invest in the occasion. Here are some great Pump Products memories and achievements of the 2017 year: --Held a totally rad cookout that drew dozens of hardcore pump fans --Partnered with excellent new manufacturers to distribute their quality products, including See Water Inc., Davey, Alderon and A.Y. McDonald --Maintained excellent relationships with our existing manufacturing partners, and even adding some new lines, such as the Grundfos SQ series submersible well pumps --Vastly increased our in-house stock of some of our best-selling pump manufacturers and series. More pumps in stock means customers will receive orders quicker --Conducted several in-depth training sessions with manufacturers to help our team members get a better understanding of specific products and how those products can help customers --Rated as an "Elite" merchant by customers through Resellers Ratings with a 9.03 score Those are just a few of the things I'm proud of from the past year.
