When it comes to primary-secondary systems, I've watched a lot of contractors guess at the sizes of the pipes and pumps, as well as their boiler high-limit temperatures. There's a lot of trial and error, and even more over-sizing. That's too bad because guesswork costs time and money. In this book, I'll show you how to reduce the size of your pipes, valves, fittings and pumps, without sacrificing performance - and without getting into trouble. I'll also show you how to set the boiler temperature to get the…
Understanding how different types of pump designs impact sealing is critical to optimizing the efficiency, safety and longevity of the sealing system.

The power generation industry uses high-flow, low-head vertical pumps for circulating water in both fossil and nuclear power plants. Many of these plants are approaching 40 years old and require equipment refurbishment or component replacement. One specific component that has been a major topic of discussion is the circulating water pump.
How can you control your pump from your smartphone? Better yet, why would you need to have access to your pool pump from your phone?
Cavitation is not a new phenomenon that can impact a pump system, but it is an issue that is growing. While no official figures exist, it is not misleading to say that in the last five years, cases of pump cavitation have increased markedly.
Running some pumps dry can damage the pump—a costly practice. Which pumps can be run dry? Peristaltic pumps, piston pumps with ceramic heads, bellows pumps, and diaphragm pumps can run dry for any …
Sprayer pumps are designed to push or pull fluid tank contents out to a spray nozzle(s) at specific gallons per minute (GPM) flow rates and pressure delivery.
