Gorman-Rupp’s Eradicator Plus™ provides a reliable solution to the persistent problem of pump clogging in the wastewater industry. Clogs not only consume time and increase operational costs but also cause costly downtime. Even more concerning, clogging can lead to overflows, resulting in the release of untreated sewage into rivers and streams.

The increasing prevalence of wipes being flushed into sewer systems has increased the strain on wastewater pumps, making clogging more pressing than ever.

Choosing the right pump is crucial to minimizing clog-related challenges. Various pump designs and impellers handle different types of wastewater and solids, ensuring optimal performance for specific applications.

Key Criteria for Selecting the Right Pump:

• Solids content
• Pumping rate and head requirements
• Fluid velocity through the pump
• Pump design, including solids passing capability
• Impeller type and speed
• Impeller speed
• Materials of construction
• Cutters and grinders within the pump
• Maintenance and serviceability
• Pump and motor access
• Cost and total lifecycle analysis

By considering these criteria, you can select a wastewater pump that effectively meets the specific demands of your application while minimizing the risk of clogging, downtime, and other operational challenges.
