Precision Engineering
CNC Machining
Critical components are machined from solid materials:
- Pump head: Machined from T6061 billet aluminum
- Precision tolerances: Ensures proper fit and function
- Consistent quality: Every unit identical
Material Selection
Quality begins with raw materials:
- 304 stainless steel: Pump rods and components
- T6061 aluminum: Pump head and lever components
- Schedule 80 PVC: Drop pipes (strongest available)
- NSF/FDA certified materials: Safe for drinking water
Quality Control
Inspection Standards
Multiple quality checkpoints:
- Raw material inspection
- In-process verification
- Final assembly testing
- Pre-shipment inspection
Component Testing
Critical parts undergo:
- Dimensional verification
- Function testing
- Pressure testing where applicable
- Visual inspection
Design for Reliability
