When the U.S. economy began to falter and the unemployment rate started edging up into the double-digits, increasing numbers of Americans started taking stock of the commonly used goods that were no longer manufactured in the U.S. and were made overseas instead. In reaction, some compiled lists of companies that manufacture domestically. Others extended American-made home challenges to builders and contractors. At Pump Express we have always promoted American goods because, in addition to being engineered for efficiency and built from the finest materials, U.S.-manufactured pumps are quick and inexpensive to ship domestically, and replacement parts are never a problem. This brief list of American-made pumps highlights some other great qualities the U.S.-made pumps we stock and sell have to offer.
Liberty’s 230 Series Submersible Sump Pump is one of four models in the 230 Series featuring a vortex style impeller allowing large amounts of waste to pass through the system without clogging. 230 Series Sump Pumps are crafted in New York State from quick-cooling aluminum and non-corrosive stainless steel and feature an efficent motor design that reduces energy usage by up to 40%.
Bell & Gosett’s Series PL close-coupled booster pumps are compact, rugged and maintenence-free. Their advanced close-coupled, dry motor design decreases energy usage by 25%, increases pump life and assures dependable start-ups. These Illinois-made inline pumps are available in cast iron and bronze.
Taco KS Vertical Split-Coupled In-Line Pumps are designed for optimum performance, easy installation and problem-free maintenance. The Rhode Island-manufactured KS line puts the power of two pumps into a compact casing that fits easily in tight spaces. The KS line’s split-coupled design facilitates seal changing without disturbing the motor or piping, minimizing downtime.
Wisconsin-based Hydromatic’s V1D Series commercial solids-handling pumps feature a patented vortex impeller that spins solids away from the impeller instead of through it using high-speed rotary action. An air-cooled, high efficiency motor outperforms comparable oil-filled motors and is easy to maintain. The Series’ silicon-carbide mechanical seals are longer-lasting, more heat resistant and safer than those of competing brands.
Connecticut-based BJM’s Submersible Shredder Pump uses a cutting impeller barbed with a Tungsten Carbide tip to shred clogging debris down to a fine slurry, virtually ending synthetic clogging problems. Constructed of stainless steel and hardened cast iron, these heavy-duty submersible pumps function well in sandy and high temperature liquids.
Kentucky-based Zoeller’s 915 Shark Series Grinder Pumps have been engineered to use a 1/2 HP motor to accomplish as much as a 2 HP grinder, which results in substantial savings for homeowners. Sold as part of a Grinder Package System, the 915 Shark Grinder is ready for fast installation in residential wastewater applications and 2″ sewage ejector retrofits.
Berkeley Centrifugal Pumps are known for their reliability, combining high-head performance with quiet operation in a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel housing. Designed to withstand temperatures of up to 250F, they are used in a range of temperature conditions as diverse as those between the West Coast of Berkeley’s origin and the Midwest of it’s modern day manufacturing plant.
Hartell Ice Machine Pumps have been integral to the smooth running of ice machines by classic American companies like Whirlpool and Frigidaire for more than 40 years. Manufactured in Pennsylvania according to NSF and UL standards, they are clean, safe, simple and sanitary. Each of the four pump styles Hartell produces is available in a variety of discharge, impeller and motor options for optimal versatility.
