Pump Express recently joined the ranks of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC), a nationwide federation of plumbing and HVAC contractors dedicated to maintaining high industry standards, advocating best practices and promoting emerging technologies. Founded in 1883, PHCC is the oldest trade organization in the construction industry, but it is PHCC’s focus on the future of the industry that makes Pump Express a natural fit.

“Until recently, a contractor or maintenance manager looking to replace a failed Armstrong pump basically had two options,” says Pump Express Sales Manager Fred Hettinger. “He could go to a generic supply house and deal with a counterman who had little or no experience with the application the pump would be used in, or he could select and size an Armstrong pump to the best of his ability, order it from his local supply house and hope for the best.”

Both methods lacked the precision and expertise necessary to effectively configure a pump for a hydronic system. The result was often wasted time and resources. Pump Express was developed to fill the gap between manufacturer and product with a team of pump specialists to expertly guide customers through the process of selecting the best possible pump to suit their needs. The result — a perfectly-sized, problem-free pump that will minimize energy waste.

In addition to Pump Express’s illustrated catalog of pumps and parts supported by manuals and performance charts, and the one-on-one sizing expertise provided by Pump Express application engineers, PHCC members will benefit from promotional PHCC-member discounts and access to Pump Express’s warranty repair facility.
