LIBERTY PUMPS GRINDER EATS UP THE SPOTLIGHT AT PUMP EXPRESS BREAKFAST & LEARN
There weren’t any scrambled eggs but there was plenty of fine slurry at the end of the great Liberty Pump Breakfast & Learn event at Pump Express headquarters last week. Local contractors joined Pump Express staff to get acquainted with Liberty’s line of sump, sewage and effluent pumps and to enjoy some early-morning shop talk about pump applications and problems encountered in the field.
Liberty Pumps‘ Steve Ritsema presented his company’s ground and wastewater products, fielding questions pertaining to commercial and residential applications. Liberty’s grinder pumps were in the spotlight.
“Plumbers told us when we were designing a grinder pump to make sure that it’ll eat nylon stockings. That’s a service call all the time. Nylon stockings are very tough, stretchy and will jam a pump up every time.”
Ritsema spoke in detail about the pump’s construction and easy installation and maintenance. Simplicity is a hallmark of the small Bergen, NY manufacturer that pioneered pre-assembled pump systems.
“Liberty’s Omnivore grinder pump system comes 95 percent pre-assembled so when you get to the job site there’s not that much to do,” said Ritsema. “The pumps are in there. The guide rails are preassembled. The discharge piping is done. It comes with a control panel, a junction box. All the wiring is done for you. You simply slide the pump down the rail and run the wire through the juncture box.”
Ritsema went on to demonstrate how the Liberty Omnivore tears through tough items like leather gloves and mop heads. He subsequently demonstrated the pump’s maintenance and proper installation. Watch the video.
As attendees at the early-a.m. event headed out to start the work day Pump Express Sales Manager Fred Hettinger drew their attention to the short lead time on Liberty products.
“With most other manufacturers if you bought a duplex system your looking at 2-3 weeks to get the system out the door. Liberty will get it out the door in 24 to 72 hours. If your looking for something that’s quick, this is definitely the way to go.”
