Retrofit: Complex Customizations Made Easy

How Pump Customization Updates Your System and Saves You Money

You’ve got a wastewater system, and your system has pumps.  But a lot has changed between your initial installation and now.  Technology has improved, your supplier relationships have changed, or perhaps you’re having pump issues or ongoing maintenance concerns. 

Time to replace the system?  No. It’s time for Retrofit.  Retrofit is a customized pump replacement product that will solve your problems when it comes to upgrading your current wastewater system. 

Customized pumps, what we at Keen Pump call “Retrofit”, are designed to replace pumps from other manufacturers, providing an easy, efficient solution without the need to overhaul your entire system.

What is custom?  Everything, of course.  Here are four key components that need to fit perfectly, to “Retrofit”:

1. Pump Mounting Flange
   The new pump must be securely mounted in place without requiring changes to the existing structure. Keen Pump customizes the mounting flange to precisely match the specifications of the old pump, ensuring the RetroFit product will fit right where it’s needed, reducing installation time and costs.
2. Discharge Connection
   Wastewater pumps must be configured so that the discharge outlet lines up with the existing piping. Keen Pump customizes the size, shape, and positioning of the discharge outlet, making sure that it integrates perfectly with your current system’s pipes. This ensures smooth flow and eliminates the risk of leaks or pressure inconsistencies.
3. Electrical Connections
   Different systems operate with different voltage, phase, and control requirements. Keen Pump makes sure that the RetroFit pump’s wiring, motor voltage, and electrical controls are tailored to the existing system. This customization ensures that the new pump can be integrated without the need for additional electrical modifications or costly rewiring.  Plus, we outfit all of our pumps with the latest, state-of-the-art monitoring systems to help you know your pump is performing optimally at all times.  More importantly, you’ll know when it’s not.
4. Impeller and Motor Performance
   Keen Pump looks at the specific performance needs of your system, such as flow rate and pressure, and matches the impeller and motor specs to meet those demands, improving performance wherever we can. New retrofit pumps can include our state-of-the-art, patented chopper system, to lessen clogging and maintenance issues.
