Happy Thanksgiving from Cornell Pump

When selecting a self-priming pump, it’s easy to focus on specs like flow and lift. But in real-world applications, efficiency is what drives long-term success. Cornell’s STX-Series pumps are engineered to deliver not just performance—but highly efficient, reliable operation that reduces costs and downtime over the life of the pump.

When I’m helping a grower size a pump for a drip irrigation system, we always start with the basics—but the conversation usually goes a lot deeper than just picking a pump off the shelf.

In high-demand pumping environments like mining, reliability is non-negotiable. One of the less visible but critical factors affecting pump life and performance is shaft deflection.
