Many pump manufacturers and distributors sell refurbished pumps along with their new inventory. These pumps can cost your small business less, but have been repaired in some manner prior to purchase. This may indicate future problems, though most manufacturers stand behind their refurbished products.
Ask about refurbished inventory when looking to add new pumps to your business. Specifically, ask about what types of products require refurbishing and what warrantees or guarantees apply to the refurbished product. Dealers should have no problem explaining potential problems and the corrections made by the company prior to sale or rental to your business.
Unlike other refurbished products, a failed pump can cost your business a lot of money. Refurbished pumps used for emergency situations such as floods or other natural disasters should be checked by a qualified repair professional prior to installation. Less urgent situations could still incur heavy labor or service costs if a pump fails unexpectedly.
Pumps are used in a variety of businesses, from commercial and industrial water control to emergency services and transport. The technologies used in the pump industry constantly change as new materials and effective construction techniques are discovered.
