What You Didn’t Know About Double Disc Pumps
Can a Double Disc Pump Have Ball Valves? Yes. In fact, ball valve technology is helping to usher in the next era of double disc style pumps. The ball valves help to break up solids and make pumping thicker municipal sewage easier. The ball valves also make it much easier to maintain the pump.
