Whether it’s the supply of quality potable water or treatment works discharge, both operations must comply with current permit levels. Efficient plant operation is essential in meeting these critical standards. Metering applications, typically with sodium hypochlorite, lime or ferric chloride, often place arduous demands on tubing, hoses and pumps. These chemicals can cause vapour locking, abrasive wear and pump clogging, leading to poor performance and premature failure of traditional metering pumps. Watson-Marlow Bredel peristaltic pumps are a proven solution and exceed performance expectations. Our hose or tube is the core of our pump and is resistant to abrasive wear. Our hoses are unique, with a four-ply structure that ensures excellent suction and pressure performance, and extends service life beyond other pump designs. The rapid wear of PC and lobe pumps means a quick drop in performance, even before eventual failure. Watson-Marlow Bredel pumps offer consistent performance for the life of the hose. Our Marprene thermoplastic elastomer tube is low cost and is chemically compatible with most applications found in water treatment plant. A 15m spool of tubing will typically last a minimum of 5 years, ensuring that maintenance costs are negligible. |
