A popular Pumps & Systems LinkedIn group conversation:

I would like to thank you for the publication Pumps & Systems. I find it very useful and informative! It is the one trade magazine I look forward to receiving and has proven to be a valuable resource. Right now I am having a tough time finding pump manufacturers who offer NSF certified pumps. It sounds simple enough at face value but many searches and conversations have been futile. Have you ever done an article on this subject that I might find in an archive? Or maybe you know of a few possible suppliers already.

I would appreciate any leads you might have to share with me. Again, thank you for this publication. They always get a lot of reading time here at our company.

Anko Products offers small peristaltic pumps for OEM applications from 1.5 milliliters per minute to 1 liter per minute. Since the tubing in the pump head is the only thing in contact with the fluid, the tubing must be NSF listed. Anko uses food grade Norprene tubing, (polypropylene based), which is FDA approved, (FDA 21 CFR 177.26000) and NSF listed (Standard 51). OEM pumps are available with 115-VAC, 230-VAC, 12-VDC and 24-VDC gear motors. Go to www.ankoproducts.com for information.

Looking for assistance to find an NSF certified pump for potable water. Though it is potable water, it will still have up to 500 ppm dissolved salt, so the preference is non-metallic or 316 stainless steel (SS) coated/uncoated. The plant is near the shore, and the outside of the pump will see a corrosive environment. A marine-grade coat and 316 SS hardware will be required. Other specs are:

  • The best efficiency point (BEP) is near 740 gallons per minute at 155 feet. The orientation preference is horizontal, but efficiency is key.
  • Net positive suction head available (NPSHA): 30 feet
  • Liquid temperature: min 17 C, max 27 C
  • Density of water: 996 to 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter
  • Kinematic viscosity: 0.86 to 1.08 centistokes
  • Water condition: reverse osmosis permeate, 0 milligram per liter total suspended solids

 In case you need the motor information: a NEMA Premium Efficiency, 380-VAC, 3-phase, 50-hertz motor is available on site, but it will be variable frequency drive controlled. Please let me know if you have a product that will meet our criteria.

We at Depco can help you. The Grundfos CR series meets NSF 61 for potable water and is available at 50 hertz. Which leads me to a question: NSF is a U.S. listing, where our electric is 60 hertz. Your requirement is for 50 hertz, so I assume your requirement is outside the U.S. Why are you using NSF, a U.S. standard, for your requirement?

Correct. The unit will be deployed outside the U.S. It is easier to adhere to our U.S. standards given our current niche market size and locations. I will be contacting you directly Jeff to further discuss options. Thank you!

Much Thanks!
