What a station has to do

Deliver a flow at a pressure, reliably, at the moment of highest demand — and keep doing it when one pump fails. Everything else is detail.

How we size one

  1. We measure. Dynamic water level, real head, existing pipe runs and the losses they impose.
  2. We calculate the network curve and cross it with the pump curve. The intersection is where the pump will actually work.
  3. We check suction margin. Available NPSH must exceed required NPSH with room to spare, or the pump destroys its own impeller.
  4. We plan for failure. Redundancy, protections and how the station behaves when a pump stops.

Variable speed is not a luxury

A drive that ramps the pump up and down does three things at once: it holds pressure steady as demand changes, it cuts energy on partial load, and it removes the two most damaging water-hammer events — abrupt start and abrupt stop. On a network of any length, it pays for itself.

Brands we work with

Caprari, Calpeda, Grundfos, Sulzer, DAB, Stairs, Pentax, Rovatti and Joval. We choose per installation, not per supplier agreement — and we keep wear parts for what we install.
