The two Landia 9HP pumps are in use for an average of just four hours per week per pump which gives an energy saving of 47% compared to the previous pumps. The lower running time is due to the fact that the 9HP Landia pumps macerate and pump the incontinence pads, underwear and other debris instead of getting clogged up by them.

Kyle Headrick, WWTP Superintendent at the City of Hesston, said: “The Landia pumps completely solved our problems and I am extremely happy with them. We were pulling and unclogging our old pumps anywhere from three times per week up to three times per day and we have not been called to the station since we put in the Landia Chopper Pumps.”
