Seven pump selection errors that stay invisible at quote time – from NPSH margins to viscosity correction. The free VSX whitepaper “Best Practices for Avoiding Hydraulic Pump Selection Errors” shows engineering and sales teams how to spot them early, what they cost and which standards apply. Includes an 8-point pre-selection checklist.
Double diaphragm pumps operate using an oscillating positive displacement principle. The pump consists of two main fluid housings and a central air control section. Inside each housing, a flexible diaphragm is mounted vertically and connected to a shared shaft. As compressed air enters and exits the air chambers, the diaphragms move in a coordinated push pull motion.
SEW-EURODRIVE is setting a new standard for efficiency with the launch of the DR2C motor, an IE5 ultrapremium efficiency motor engineered for wide speed range operation and maximum long-term energy cost reductions.

The Borehole Range by Lowara is a cutting-edge range of submersible pumps designed for high-performance and energy-efficient operation in a variety of water management applications, particularly for groundwater extraction.
There is a growing trend towards moving wastewater pumping equipment out of an underground environment to increase equipment lifecycles, reduce labor and replacement costs, and increase worker safety. The trend away from submersible pumps toward above-ground pump stations eliminates the frequent pulling and replacement due to clogs and failures and reduces hazards and costs of accessing confined spaces. Read on for an overview of key advantages, as well as examples of how communities have achieved cost savings by moving towards above-ground systems.
