Pump Express pump system specialist Craig McCrickard and pump system diagnostician Keith Zalarick recently hit the road to replace a faulty water booster pump control panel in an office building in downtown Jersey City, NJ.

“The old pump panel failed and the pumps continuously run,” said McCrickard. “We’re going to be installing a new, more efficient pump panel to take care of the problem.”

Craig and Keith replaced the old panel with a Duplex NEMA 1 control panel, equipped with a cutoff and low suction alarm. The new panel will ensure that the building’s water pressure booster system runs more efficiently and requires less maintenance than it did before.

The replacement took place on a weekday morning, during regular business hours, with no interruption to the building’s water supply. Read More …

The Armstrong 230 circulator pump is one of the most versatile pumps on the market. It’s a circulator pump that can be used for both heating and cooling loops, radiant heating, hot water circulation, and indirect heating. The stainless steel version can also be used in domestic drinking water circulation.

The Armstrong 230 three-speed pump was designed with the needs of a contractor in mind and it can handle today’s most common pump applications. A unique three-speed design allows the pump to be set to a wide range of system head and flow specifications.

The Armstrong 230 is rated at 1/25th hp and 115 volts. It has a rated flow of zero to 18 gallons per minute and a rated head of zero to 18 feet. The pump has standard flanges and comes with a pair of flange gaskets.

One of the pumps most outstanding features the the Armstrong 230 is its vent plug, which is used to purge air from the system after the pump’s installation. This eliminates the need to drain and refill the entire boiler in order to rid it of air. This unique feature, along with the three speed technology, makes the Armstrong 230 one of the most versatile pumps on the market today.
