The Goulds VRS vertical rubber-lined canteliver sump pump (photo) is said to set new standards for energy efficiency and other costs. The VRS liners, impellers and casing halves are all interchangeable with the firm’s SRL horizontal pumps, resulting in reduced parts inventory and maintenance costs. The VRS vertical pump also allows for liner replacement without requiring a change of the entire pump casing. The impellers are built with tighter tolerances than other vertical pumps, which improves the operating efficiency and saves up to 40% in energy costs, says the manufacturer. The VRS pumps are available in 2-, 3-, 5- and 6-in. dia. with 4 and 6-ft lengths. They can handle duties with up to 120 ft head, solids up to ¼ in., and 75 psi working pressure. — ITT Corp., White Plains, N.Y.
