Water treatment plants rely on their ability to move large volumes of fluid reliably, around the clock.
End suction pumps play a critical role in that process, keeping water running through treatment and distribution systems.
If a pump fails in a water treatment plant, the entire facility halts, and the immediate consequences can include severe drops in distribution pressure, boil-water advisories, and the risk of untreated sewage overflowing into local waterways.
Entire communities can be left without safe drinking water.
Chamco supplies Grundfos end suction pumps engineered to deliver the reliable, consistent flow water treatment facilities depend on, while helping reduce energy consumption and support long service in demanding operating conditions.
When system reliability matters, the right pump makes all the difference.
Talk to our experts today to find out which Grundfos end suction pump is right for your application. And don’t forget to ask about our preventative maintenance program!

Summer doesn't ease your pumps into peak demand…it pushes them there quickly.
As temperatures climb, pumps and motors run harder and hotter, and pump rooms heat up right along with them.
Without proper lubrication and cooling, that added strain can turn a seasonal issue into an unplanned repair and costly downtime.
Assessing your pump system now gives you the window to catch problems before they become failures.
Contact Chamco to book your regular maintenance to ensure the motors and pumps are lubricated and kept cool during the hottest season.

Portable air compressors go through a lot:
➡️They are constantly moved to and from sites
➡️They get exposed to dust, dirt, and temperature swings
➡️They are run for long, hard hours
And we still expect them to start up every single time.
In this blog, Sullair reminds us that routine maintenance doesn't mean checking your equipment once a year, or even once a month. It means familiarizing yourself with your equipment and how it’s operating every day.

There’s nothing better than seeing our pumps continue to perform long after installation.
We recently visited a local water district for a quick check-up and were happy to see these four 300 HP Peerless Pump Company Vertical pumps operating smoothly.
That’s another successful water pump install, reliably supplying much-needed potable water to the community.

Congrats Darrell! We hope to see you put the compressor to good use!
Thanks to everyone who came out, entered the contest and chatted with us. See you next year!

Expanding your facility doesn’t just increase capacity; it increases demand on your fire pump system, too.
When a sawmill in BC added a new kiln, the existing fire pump system couldn’t meet its new safety requirements.
They came to Chamco with a challenge: Maintain the current equipment and control room to reduce costs.
We stepped up to the plate and delivered a custom fire pump package that met the customer's needs.
