Why rely on an SSPMA certified pump?

  • Engineers, specifiers, contractors and end users expect a pump that arrives on the job to meet certain reliable design criteria. Many times a certain size for solids handling is required or the pump is selected based on a published performance curve. While third party certifications such as UL and CSA have standards for the electrical components, they do not ensure other key performance criteria. Pumps bearing the “SSPMA-Certified” seal have been tested, by the member manufacturer, and rated in accordance with stringent SSPMA Industry Standards to verify they will perform as stated by the manufacturer of the particular equipment involved. The Standards are designed to supply the specifier, purchaser and/or user of sump, effluent and sewage pumping equipment with accurate performance data, and to assist in the determination of proper application and selection of this equipment. Many states require installers of pumps to be licensed and to meet certain standards. When purchasing directly or through a licensed installer, why not require use of a pump that has to meet certain established standards as well?
