FTI’s sealless, mag-drive, centrifugal pumps, including the DB Series and SP Series, are engineered for quiet and consistent performance, all while producing less heat than conventional pump designs. This temperature control is vital in aquatic environments, where even minor fluctuations can impact sensitive species. The powerful magnetic drive system eliminates the need for mechanical seals, removing a common source of leaks and simplifying maintenance. Built from highly durable polypropylene or PVDF, these pumps are resistant to corrosion and can handle even the most aggressive fluids encountered in aquatic life support.
Designed with operational reliability in mind, the DB and SP Series pumps feature the ability to run dry, reducing the risk of damage from operator error or unexpected system changes. The SP Series also offers a self-priming capability, enabling it to draw fluid from depths of up to 25 feet below the pump or to extract liquid from the top of a tank, eliminating the need for through-the-sidewall bulkhead fittings and providing more installation flexibility.
Finish Thompson’s EF Series drum and barrel pumps stand out for their versatility and adaptability. Available in multiple tube lengths and built from a variety of materials, these pumps are suitable for a wide array of applications, including transferring water or chemicals for treatment processes or sampling. An excellent alternative to manual hand pumps, they are equipped with an integral strainer to safeguard the pump from debris. These pumps can handle light acids, bases, sodium hypochlorite, cleaners, and coolants, making them an indispensable tool for aquatic facility maintenance and chemical management.
From a shark aquarium in Las Vegas to a renowned San Francisco aquarium, FTI’s pumps deliver the performance and peace of mind required by aquarium professionals and aquatic life specialists.
