Watertronics’ exclusive Mechanical Seal technology is designed for our Vertical Turbine pump stations. Available as an option, they can extend the life of the pump shaft and station skid by many years. Mechanical Seals eliminate the possibility of an out-of-adjustment packing box spraying water onto the skid and pump house floor. This protects your investment and improves the longevity of your pump station overall.
How Does the Mechanical Seal Reduce Maintenance?
By eliminating the traditional packing box, our Mechanical Seal eliminates the contact between the pump shaft and packing, eliminating shaft wear caused by abrasives in the water, over-tightened packing, and age. Watertronics Mechanical Seals require minimal maintenance, requires no routine adjustments, and is easily removed and reinstalled without removing the motor from the head.
Key highlights include:
