The Sump and Sewage Pump Manufacturers Association (SSPMA) held its Fall Meeting in late September at Metropolitan Industries in Romeoville, Ill. Metropolitan, an SSPMA member company, provided an overview of its products and projects involving pumps, controls, and ancillary equipment for the municipal, commercial, HVAC, industrial and residential water and wastewater industries. A tour of the company's green energy and water-independent facility was included.
Nearly all pump company members were represented, as well as most component member companies. Featured at the general meeting was the unveiling of two major new projects: a training program for sizing sewage pumps, including a working calculation example that can be downloaded for use with the program; and an upgraded, newly designed SSPMA website. The training program was developed for members of the plumbing industry who work with sewage pumps.
SSPMA president Susan O’Grady (Pentair Water) noted, “Both projects were handled and overseen by members, with the first now 95 percent complete and the second 90 percent complete.”
SSPMA represents the manufacturers of sump, sewage and effluent pumps, together with component and accessory suppliers. For more information, visit www.sspma.org
