  Pump for Water Supply

  Posted by valhalla on January 3, 2020 at 8:43 pm

  Hey folks, looking for recommendations. We currently have our Reverse Osmosis water filling a large tank with a float switch. From the tank outlet we have a Grundfos Scala 2 pump providing constant pressure to our main water lines. From there we have our hose bibs, connections to fill mash equipment…etc. That pump has failed 2 times now and I’m looking for alternative pumps or options to supply water. Current capability is up to 20 gpm and up to 40-50 psi. Thanks for any help.

  You need the Goulds NPE series for plant water recirculation. When correctly sized and installed they are rugged, and also easy to repair when needed.An example would be model 1ST1G5A4. This is what we use for HW supply in the Brewhouse.You need a bypass valve on the discharge line, so you can leave the pump run during the shift when needed. This can be manual or automatic mechanical style as made by ” Watts.” You may not need a pump this big. A pump guy can help you size it. These are the best pumps for both water and glycol duty.
