In this space, I, Inspector Pumphead from PumpProducts.com, will be sending out friendly reminders and dispensing basic tips for ordering, maintaining and servicing pumps. The Inspector is in and here to help! Tip: Pumps with a back pullout design are easier to clean, service and repair. You may have noticed that some of our Centrifugal Pumps, such as the Goulds IRRI-GATOR, are listed as having a “back pullout” or “pullout design.” This simply means that the rotating assembly of the pump can be pulled out of the volute or pump casing without disturbing the piping. As noted above, this makes cleaning those areas of the pump (including parts such as bearings, shaft seals, etc.) much easier. Quick disassembly can also be beneficial if you need to perform any maintenance. This can save you a lot of time, money and headaches.   Pump Products applications engineers are standing by to help you find the right pump, as well as to provide price quotes, availability and shipping information.
