Featured product: Portable bypass pumps

The news is dominated right now by stories of serious flooding -- some 
of it on a record-setting or near-record scale.  This has created a 
widespread need for bypass pumping, either to keep floodwaters from 
entering inhabited areas or to keep sewer systems from backing up into 
homes and businesses.

One of the best developments in bypass pumping came along when 
Gorman-Rupp introduced the Silent Pump arrangement about a decade ago. 
This self-enclosed, sound-attenuated system allows for the bypass of 
hundreds of gallons of water (floodwater and sewage included alike) 
every minute, but with nearly silent operation so as not to interrupt 
life nearby.

The totally-enclosed arrangement also discourages vandalism and theft, 
and the quiet operation helps ensure that no needless attention is paid 
to the operation.

The Silent Pump includes a pump and engine, a massive fuel reservoir, 
and a completely automatic system for operating the pump, so that 
valuable public-works employees can spend their time doing more 
important work than just babysitting the pump.
