Keeping water and wastewater flowing smoothly requires powerful and reliable pumps. Below, we explore three innovative submersible pump solutions. One option boasts a unique air-filled motor design for versatility in wet or dry environments, along with energy-efficient operation. Another focuses on tackling challenging clogs with aggressive solids reduction technology. And the third solution prioritizes long-term efficiency and cost savings by withstanding harsh environments and high temperatures.
Crane Pumps & Systems envie3
The envie3 air-filled motor series dry pit submersible pump from Crane Pumps & Systems can run in wet applications and in dry pits. These pumps took Barnes’ and Deming’s proven nonclog and chopper wet ends and outfitted it with a premium efficient IE3 motor that can run in both vertical and horizontal configurations. The closed-loop glycol cooling system allows for stress-free, easy maintenance and installation in demanding applications. The premium efficient IE3 motor delivers significant energy compared to an equivalent oil-filled motor solution. For easy serviceability, the horizontal installation options include a cart system, which creates a back pullout option as well as a fixed bracket configuration. When installed horizontally, its footprint is 35% smaller than frame-mounted end suction pumps. Vertical installation configurations include a metal and concrete stand that allow for 360-degree rotation, which makes adapting to existing piping convenient, including tangential discharge pumps.

Gorman-Rupp SFSC Pump
The SFSC Pump from Gorman-Rupp is an SF Series product equipped with Eradicator Plus solids reduction technology. These are the most aggressive in the SF Series product lineup and are designed for applications where nonwoven flushable wipes, trash bags, hair, industrial byproducts and agricultural wastes are present. All pumps are equipped with a heavy-duty continuous vane impeller. The pumpout vanes incorporated into the thick back shroud are designed to help prevent buildup of debris behind the impeller. The wear plate utilizes notches and grooves with an oversized lacerating tooth designed to cut and shred organic solids before they enter the pump. Pumps are available in 3-, 4- and 6-inch discharge sizes.
