Pump it Up
Griswold Pump
Company introduces the F Series Heavy-Duty
End-Suction Centrifugal Pumps.
Designed with a
series of operational
efficiencies that make
them ideal for use
in commercial swimming
pools, water parks, fountains, aquariums, and other waterpumping applications, the F Series pumps have been certified
by NSF for meeting ANSI/NSF Standard 50 for swimming-pool
circulation components. ANSI/NSF Standard 50 applies to all
components and materials for swimming pool, spa, or hot tub
water circulation and treatment in public and residential applications. The F Series pumps feature enlarged pump suction and
discharge nozzles that reduce friction losses. Other highlights
of the F Series' construction are bronze shaft sleeves that protect from abrasion; cast-iron casings; a single-piece enclosed
bronze impeller keyed to the shaft; bronze wear rings pressed
into the casing; and standard carbon, ceramic, Buna-N, and
stainless-steel mechanical shaft seals. This construction gives
the F Series pumps a high level of versatility, with pumping capacities up to 3,000 gpm and heads to 125 feet. The pumps are
equipped with either close-coupled NEMA electric motors or
frame-mounts with couplings to electric motors. They are flanged
in accordance with ANSI B 16.1 standards for 125-psi pumping
applications. GRISWOLD, 909.512-1268, www.griswoldpump.com
