Pump Head
Diaphragm
Bellow Seal
A secondary diaphragm seal completely separates the pump head from the drive unit. This double diaphragm isolating design eliminates the risk of cross-contaminating gearbox lubricant and process fluid.
Cartridge Valves
High precision guided, ball and seat, clear PVC cartridge valves are available to provide built-in sight flow indication and fast, foolproof service. The proven design includes wide flow paths and four-point guides to control ball rise and assure proper seating. The valve housing is compression-sealed to the pump head and pipe connectors by O-rings and is easily removed for the service or replacement without disturbing the external piping.
Motor
Available with standard induction, variable speed, or inverter duty motors for wider operating ranges and automatic process control.
Gear Box
This proven robust mechanical assembly features liberal use of heavy-duty parts, including an epoxy-painted cast iron gearbox for superior corrosion resistance, stainless steel fasteners, load-absorbing tapered roller bearings, robust gears, and steel and nodular iron drive components.
Leak Detector
An optional diaphragm leak detection system senses the early stages of diaphragm failure. The system consists of a solid-state, electro-optic sensor that mounts to the liquid end and a control box. This box, which can be mounted at the pump, or up to 100 ft. (30m) away, can monitor two liquid ends. LED’s and a relay provide both local and remote indication of failure.
Stroke Length Adjustment
Obtain precise and highly repeatable feed rate settings with a 10-turn, micrometer-type stroke length adjuster. A percent scale and vernier indicate stroke length in 0.25% increments. Feed rate is infinitely adjustable from 0 to 100%. Optional automatic capacity control via stroke length is also available.
Drive Configuration
Proven, reliable drive and control mechanism with precision liquid end design offer superior metering and process control performance.
Available in a direct drive configuration or a pulley coupled arrangement for additional 4:1 turndown on stroke frequency.

Featured Installations
Upper Deerfield
Goal: Implement a treatment process at the water plant that could pump a heavy 12% lime slurry into the finished drinking water to maintain alkalinity. Decrease the occurrence of low pH alarms going off.
Outcome: The Encore®700 had an immediate improvement on performance. The Encore®700 Pump was able to generate up to 50 GPH and deliver 12% slurry efficiently against 75 psi backpressure. Not only could the team rely on the Encore®700 Pump’s reliability and pumping power to deliver up to 50 GPH consistently, the new system maintained a steady pH level and required much less maintenance.
Southern Nevada Water Authority
Goal: Improve the process used to accurately and effectively feed the electrolyzers of their nine on-site hypochlorite generation units. Each unit produced up to 2,000 pounds per day of equivalent chlorine for residual disinfection.
Outcome: The Encore® 700 pumps worked as planned. The flexibility of the Encore® 700 pumps allowed the operation team to manually adjust eccentricity during operation and required fewer parts. SNWA ended up purchasing a total of 9 Encore® 700 Double-Simplex pumps.
Jericho Water District
Goal: JWD struggled with controlling corrosion in their pipes. This had an impact on achieving accurate pressure and water speed. They needed a solution that would address corrosion, operations, maintenance, repairs and costs.
Outcome: The Encore® 700 required far less maintenance compared to JWD’s previous systems, saving the operating team time and reducing operating costs. The Encore® 700 provided reliable and efficient operation with minimal system vibration The Encore® 700 allow the operating team to manually, and smoothly adjust eccentricity during operation. JWD purchased an additional 11 Encore® 700 pumps.
“The Encore® 700 pumps have been working great for us. They’re a lot less maintenance – virtually maintenance-free – and the problems we had with the previous pump just aren’t there with the Encore® 700. We plan to continue converting every pump at all of our wells..”
