Is Your Foot Valve Giving Problems

Is your current foot valve causing Problems?mussel2

  • Do you only have a shallow hole to pump from?
  • Are you getting air in your pump?
  • Are you getting weed & gravel in your foot valve & pump
  • Are you having troubles with your pump foot valve in shallow water
  • You usually have to dig a sump in the creek or dam and this usually silts up when the first rain comes
  • Maybe you cannot deepen the hole due to rock & Environmental reasons
  • The list goes on

This is a very annoying problem and has been hard to overcome until Now

The alternative is The Mussel

This is a new and innovative idea!mussel1

How does it work?

 The suction pickup is held in the center of 2 discs surrounded & protected. The inlet gap which fully encircles the unit expands the limited suction area horizontally spreading and slowing down the ingression of the liquid. By housing and protecting the inlet horizontally spreading and diffusing a laminar flow and optimizing the fluid velocity of the ingression liquid to pressurize the inlet, major problems such as blockages, vortices, turbulence and pump cavitation are all virtually eliminated even when pumping at shallow depths with high capacity pumps

Improve pump Efficiency

The specifications of the pump Mussel are carefully designed to optimize fluid flow dynamics into the inside of the device. The area of the inlet gap, the angle of the diffusion shells and the volume of the expansion envelope are all designed to work together to create better suction & pump efficiency’s

The End result is Lower operating CostsMussle
