We perform Quality Assurance Testing on 100% of our centrifugal booster pumps, ensuring that you get your pump as specified. By design, a centrifugal pump is a very simple machine. There are two significant components that convert energy from a driver (motor or engine) to mechanical energy in terms of velocity and pressure. They are the impeller and the volute/diffuser.

Booster pumps can provide much needed water pressure where the municipal water supply is insufficient. Many commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential applications depend on additional pressure provided by booster pumps. Commercial Booster pumps are used in office buildings, hospitals, hotels, and factories to maintain water pressure on higher floors. This ensures that processes, restrooms, fire suppression, and sprinkler systems all

The cost of energy, as well as government mandates have made pumping efficiently more important than ever. Pumping efficiency, not the horsepower of the motor, is the critical parameter for a centrifugal or booster pump. Centrifugal pumps have a performance curve associated with the pump. This curve contains the efficiency of the pump at various flows within the pumps range.

Distracted workers can create dangerous or even deadly consequences for themselves or their co-workers. That’s why laying down rules about cell phone use is a necessity. Lost Productivity Whether it is a company-provided or personal phone, it should not be used for random personal calls, texting, chatting, gaming, or surfing the internet while at work. A cell phone policy will help keep

Often, choosing a pump for an application amounts to referencing some curves, grabbing one that the design point fits, and calling it a day. This approach can get you by for an intermittent application or short term use, but to select a pump to produce efficiently through a long lifespan, a number of things need to be considered. Flow Rate

In many applications, the energy required for pumping can be a significant portion of total energy costs. Anything from manufacturing to buildings for housing apartments or offices will require pumps to boost pressure throughout the facility. Since piping is expensive, the pipes are often a smaller diameter which requires increasing pressure to overcome the losses due to the smaller pipe.

Quality workmanship has always been a priority for Weber Industries. That quality was recognized in the 1950s and early 1960s when Weber Industries was contracted by various aircraft and space technology firms to provide components for fighter jets, and the bilge pump for the first U.S. manned satellites produced by McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics. Weber received numerous awards from

The performance of pump seals is critical to ensure reliable protection of submersible wastewater pump motors. Neglecting regular inspection of pumps, including pump seals, can lead to leaks and premature motor failure. Seal leak detectors can identify a leaking seal before the leak can damage the motor. Seal leak detectors are placed between the two seals of a double mechanical

The U.S. Department of Energy has instituted the Pump Efficiency Index (PEI). Its goal is to improve the overall efficiency of pumps sold in the U.S. lean water pumps designed for 25 gpm or more at best efficiency and are 1 HP or greater, qualify under the new regulations. Qualifying pumps used for clean water must display the PEI starting
