VS-AQU Vertical Sump

The VS-AQU vertical sump pumps are used in a variety of applications where submersible pumps are not a good fit. Many applications require a vertical sump pump in lieu of a submersible due to site conditions, such as metallic solids or high temperatures. VS-AQU pumps use the AQU fluid end for hydraulic performance. This heavy wall, enclosed, 304 investment cast stainless steel impeller design provides a durable and dependable product. Due to the flexibility of this product line, HVAC & building trades markets are perfect matches for this product line but it can also be used in aggressive industrial applications.
