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.
PUMP EXPRESS JOINS PENTAIR’S CLASS OF 2012
There were no caps and gowns but the Pump Express team did receive certification upon completing the two-and-a-half-day Pump School that Pentair Water conducted at ourBergenCountyheadquarters this week.
Training specialist Bill Corey led a two-day session that focused on the design, sizing, installation and maintenance of Meyers, Berkeley and other quality Pentair pumps.
“We want our customers to understand how the pump works so that they can troubleshoot it themselves,” said Cory. “Sizing is one of the main things we teach so that way it’ll be easier to pick the right pump the first time. If you take the time to learn how to size a pump then you’ll know how to toubleshoot.”
The training was a team effort on the part of Pentair staff, culminating in a briefing on key features and new products led by Senior Sales Rep Bill Beyer.
