Comments from the Competition

Weaknesses
Sensitive to Solids - Could be talking about balance problems, but high energy pumps are not designed
for solids
Complicated - ?? More complicated than an integral gear?
Expensive to Repair - Price an exchange rotating assembly for a Sundyne or Sunflo
Requires More Space - True, but there are things we can do! VSR!
High NPSHR Over 250 GPM - Primarily relates to a model discontinued in 1986
Exotic Alloys Required for Pitot Tube - 17-4 PH Stainless Steel or 718 Inconel, stock
Special High Torque Motor Required - Not once in 28 years!
Weir Power & Industrial Division 72

Comments from the Competition

Strengths
 Lower Minimum Flow - Amazing energy savings

 Competitive Pricing - We routinely are below their price, Almost always a

better value

 Less Sensitive to Off-Design Conditions - This is the BIG one! Roto-Jet

works when Sundyne pumps fail!

Why don’t they bring up efficiency?

Weir Power & Industrial Division 73

Comments from the Competition

Sundyne / Sunflow sales people will admit that Roto-Jet

is a good “water” pump
