Sealless pump a fit for bleach conveyance
Problem
The White House Utility District in Tennessee experienced leaks in some bleach pumps caused by seals deteriorating. “They had been using mechanically sealed pumps, which caused issues over time due to frequent repairs,” says Will Weathers, regional manager with Finish Thompson.
Solution
The district replaced one pump with a Finish Thompson DB Series sealless pump. After it worked well, they changed out all the pumps in that application and now have 12.
Result:
“The new pumps were pretty much plug and play,” says Chris MacPhee, plant supervisor. “We installed them six years ago and haven’t had one issue since.” 800-934-9384; www.finishthompson.com
