Wilo Multistage Pumps Offer High Efficiencies and Energy Savings Wilo USA, a provider of pumps and pump solutions, announced the release of the Wilo Helix Excel high-efficiency multistage pump line. The Helix Excel offers efficiencies up to 94% thanks to the EC motor and high-efficiency drive combination. Wilo USA has seen from 20% to 50% energy savings compared to a multi- stage pump with a VFD and high-effi- ciency motor. The NSF 61 certification on select ranges, as well as the easy serviceability of the cartridge-style seal, make the Excel the ideal option for a wide range of applications. Wilo Helix Excel comes in 304 and 316 stainless steel, as well as in cataphoresis-coated cast iron construction. www.wilo-usa.com Featured PRODUCTS Water Cannon Industrial Indoor-Safe Water Blaster Is Portable and Versatile For the ultimate in electric powered high-pressure washing products, this industrial indoor-safe water blaster is both portable and built for around-the- clock applica- tions.

Most raise-boring applications begin with the drilling of a pilot hole. The general length of a pilot hole varies. The time and cost involved in pulling the pipes out from a deep pilot hole is significant, and the service life of pilot bits is therefore crucial when it comes to keeping down cost and time for any raise-boring project. To extend the service life of pilot bits, Sandvik's development work on the new bit design has focused on improving gage protection. www.sandvik.com Twitter @WaterWellJournl WWJ March 2016 67 DAB Pumps Designs New Submersible Well Pump DAB Pumps Inc. has created sub- mersible electric pumps for 4-inch wells or larger, capable of generating a wide range of flows and heads.
