The growing importance of Reverse Osmosis in producing drinking water – increasingly scarce in many areas of the world – is boosting demand for RO systems. Equally important, especially in regions where technical back-up is not readily available, is that these systems (most critically the pump) should be reliable and easy to operate and maintain.

The Hydra-Cell pump has no seals to wear or fail. Without needing fine filtration it can handle liquids with particles. It can run dry indefinitely. Its unique Kel-Cell technology protects the diaphragms if the inlet to the pump is blocked or accidentally closed.

The pump can operate on continuous duty at high pressure. Flow is virtually pulse-free, avoiding stress on the RO membrane.

Energy costs, a serious problem with many pumps on continuous duty, are held down by the high efficiency and low horsepower requirement of the Hydra-Cell pump.

Most of these features are equally relevant in the many industrial RO and Ultrafiltration systems where Hydra-Cell pumps are used in process water recovery and in the treatment of liquid waste.

Seal-less design marks out the Hydra-Cell from other RO pumps and is the basis of its long service life - many of the liquids pumped in waste streams are harmful to pump seals. The Hydra-Cell is tolerant of small solids, resistant to chemical and corrosive attack.

The absence of dynamic seals, combined with a wide choice of liquid end materials, means that a cost effective solution can be found for a wider range of duties for example: for high TDS bore hole water up to 25-30 KTDs, a brass liquid head has proven reliable; for an HCI acid recovery system Hastelloy pump heads were required.
