Ultra V Series Sewage Pump – Special Features
| Solids-Handling Impeller
The heavy-duty balanced, two-vane, semi-open ductile iron impellers provide maximum life. Pump-out vanes on the back shroud reduce foreign material build-up behind the impeller, minimising pressure on the seal and maximising bearing life. |
 |
| Patented Cartridge Seal
Gorman-Rupp‘s double floating, self aligning, oil-lubricated mechanical seal is specifically designed for abrasive and/or trash handling applications. The silicon carbide faces and extra large seal oil chamber provide superior dry-run capability. The patented cartridge design also allows for accurate and easy installation. |
 |
| Replaceable Wear Plate
A replaceable wear plate has Gorman-Rupp’s patent-pending, self-cleaning design to ensure that debris is cleared away and does not collect on the impeller vanes. This innovative design reduces life cycle costs by minimising blockages. |
 |
| Anti-Rotation Ribs
All Ultra V Series sewage pumps come standard with anti-rotation ribs within the seal chamber area, reducing internal wear and maximising seal life. |
 |
| Patented External Shim-less Adjustment System
The shim-less cover plate adjustment allows for accurate maintenance of the clearance between the impeller and wear plate, without realigning belts, couplings or other drive components. Once adjustments have been made, the unique collar and adjusting screw maintains the clearance setting even if the cover plate is removed. Peak efficiency is maintained, while doubling the life of the impeller and wear plate. The life of the wear plate is maximised with the combination of the shim-less cover adjustment and the additional rotating assembly spacers. |

Our Clients
Testimonials
“Hydro Innovations helped us solve some safety issues connected with the operation of the submersible wastewater pumps we had. We now have Gorman-Rupp self priming wastewater pumps in that application and our safety issues have been substantially reduced. We have no hesitation in endorsing Hydro Innovations.”
Chris Schumacher, Director of Works & Engineering Oberon Council
“It’s great to see that there are still suppliers out there who will stand behind their products and let you trial them before buying. If Hydro Innovations hadn’t let me trial the pump I doubt I would have bought it upfront because I have been burnt so many times before. After all my negative experiences, the Gorman-Rupp T2A3-B self priming wastewater pump is far more than I hoped for.”
Mat Collier, Principal Partner and Manager of Midwest Piggery
“Another big plus with the Gorman-Rupp pump is that if you do get a malfunction occurring in the motor you can just replace the motor. This isn’t possible with a submersible pump. If there is a motor problem you have to change the entire pump. As an engineer I grew up on submersible pumps but having now been exposed to an above ground centrifugal pump I’d say they have a lot to offer and should be seriously considered as a pump option in a wastewater treatment plant.”
Adrian Harper, Senior Engineer Wastewater Treatment Group, Moe Wastewater Treatment Plant, Gippsland Water
“Bundaberg Regional Council are using Gorman-Rupp ultra VS3A60-B wastewater pumps in our vacuum sewer stations. Gorman-Rupp pumps have always provided reliable, dependable service at a competitive price. They are a very professional company to deal with, they know their stuff and are willing to back their product. Based on our experience we have no hesitation selecting or recommending Gorman-Rupp pumps.”
Kevin Harris, Bundaberg Regional Council Technician
“Inghams Enterprises Pty Ltd have used Gorman-Rupp pumps for over 20 years. Gorman-Rupp submersible pumps have provided reliable, dependable wastewater pumping service for our waste treatment processing plants in this time. Based on this experience we had no hesitation selecting Gorman-Rupp pumps for a new trade waste treatment plant at one of our NSW plants.”
David Jessup – Group Executive General Manager, Inghams Enterprises Pty Ltd.
“Choosing to partner with Hydro Innovations was the right decision. They grasped what was required immediately, have a very good understanding of their products and their backup service has been excellent.”
