Sourced & tested
As part of its expanding product range and services to the UK water utilities industry, SLD Pumps and Power has sourced, tested and is stocking 4” and 12” pipe floats for application to pump hoses. Use of these will reduce pump wear as well as the risk of breakdown under heavy duty loading.
Strain on submerged hoses in heavy solids pumping applications can be solved by attaching SLD hose floats at regular three metre intervals along the hose. Floats can also be used to allow discharge lines to be placed on a body of water when space is at a premium. Floats can be retrofitted to any hose.
Tapered ends to the floats decrease water and wind resistance. Tapered insides to the floats enable hoses to move freely.
