Why use a 3500 RPM pump instead of a 1750 RPM pump? It’s simple – speed saves. A 3500 RPM pump uses an impeller that is ½ the diameter, ¼ the mass and 1/16 the inertia. This creates a reduction in required horsepower, a reduction in bearing loads and a reduction in materials to manufacture. This will save you during the initial purchase of the pump, operating the pump with a smaller engine and with lower maintenance costs. Learn more about how to save here.
