March Pumps Resist Leaking
March Pumps magnetic drive pumps are centrifugal pumps that do not have a shaft seal, making these ideal as a pump that can run without leaking. March Pumps mag drive pumps are also able to resist the corrosive effects of multiple chemicals at various temperatures and avoid any unintended emissions. They are even suited for a variety of corrosive liquids that are sometimes used in manufacturing including hydrogen peroxide, formic acid, aluminum sulfate, formaldehyde, nitric acid, potassium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite.
March Pumps owe their longevity to:
- High quality plastics, O-rings, and bushings
- Designs that withstand poor pumping conditions
- UL-listed motors for longevity and safety
March Pumps are available in cast iron, stainless steel, PTFE, polypropylene and Kynar.
