Product Focus: Pumps

Aeration Pump

HIBLOW XP-80

The HIBLOW XP-80 linear diaphragm air pump utilizes a “rare earth” neodymium magnet that allows the unit to run on less than 57 watts of power — comparable to an incandescent light bulb. The aerator has a small footprint and weighs less than 10 pounds, allowing for cost-efficient shipping. It takes up less space in a service truck and in protective enclosures — allowing for more air circulation to cool the pump. The neodymium magnet helps the pump maintain a low operating temperature, which helps optimize pump service life. 734-944-5032; www.hiblow-usa.com

Vertical/Lift Station Pumps

Smith & Loveless EVERLAST Pump Station

For decentralized infrastructure and private developments, Smith & Loveless EVERLAST Pump Stations eliminate the installation bottlenecks and safety liabilities of conventional submersible lift stations. By placing all pumping, mechanical and electrical components above the wet well at ground level, contractors can bypass more complex structural assembly requirements in submersibles. Every station features single-source responsibility; Smith & Loveless engineers, builds and factory-tests the complete integrated package before shipment. This eliminates field coordination headaches between separate component pump, controls and ancillary component suppliers and streamlines the engineering submittal process for faster approvals. The system arrives ready for rapid connection, significantly lowering on-site labor hours and assembly requirements during deployment. For long-term operations, the configuration eliminates OSHA-mandated confined space entries. Technicians safely inspect the STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps and control panel in seconds by opening a lightweight hooded enclosure, delivering substantial life cycle savings for end-users while prioritizing field crew safety from day one. 800-898-9122; www.smithandloveless.com
