Atlas Copco
WEDA electric submersible pumps will make their debut on the American market with a new range for professional users. The new additions to the range are 1 hp and under, C-UL-US approved, 60 Hz single-phase drainage, sludge and residual pumps. They come in two voltage variants, 115 V and 230 V, and join the 50 Hz range. WEDA electric submersible pumps are now available in a 50Hz and a 60Hz version. The pumps feature a small, lightweight and high efficiency motor and their triple shaft seal design ensures reliability. Each model is equipped with a motor protection that automatically stops the pump in case of either overheating or overload/over-current. The pump automatically restarts after cooling down. 800.732.6762, atlascopco.us
Global Pump/Mersino
The model 6GSTAP (Standard Trash Auto Prime) is capable of maximum flows of 2,750 GPM and maximum total head of 165 feet while handling solids up to three inches in diameter. The standard 6GSTAP is powered by a water-cooled, 4-cylinder diesel engine. Alternative drives are available, including other diesel engines or electric motor options. A compressor-fed, venture priming system provides rapid, reliable priming. A mechanical seal with biodegradable glycol quench allows the pump to start and run dry. In addition, a standard engine control panel provides preset emergency shutdown protection and allows the addition of automatic level control. 866.360-PUMP, globalpump.com, mersino.com

Myers-Seth
The High Volume Centrifugal Trash Pump (8 inch) MSP HV-200 is a heavy duty, dry run, and dry priming pump. These pumps move larger volumes of water and have a higher solid handling capability. They are also equipped with our unique Eco-Prime system which a completely oil-less vacuum priming system allows the pump to prime and re-prime itself without filling the priming chamber with pumping fluids and prevents the fluids from escaping the priming system, making the Eco-Prime system environmentally friendly and eliminating the need for extra hoses to handle unwanted blow-by. 904.389.6114, myersseth.com
