Picture this: you're standing in the pumping system component aisle (lol, what? Do those even exist?), feeling more like a lost astronaut than a savvy shopper. With endless options and rapid tech changes, it's enough to make anyone break out in a cold sweat. But fear not, intrepid purchaser! It's all about building that confidence. Do you know all your buying options, or are you ready to learn something new?
Evaluating What You Need to Know
Let’s get one thing out of the way: if you don't know what you're doing, it's time to call in the SYSTEMS experts. Do you know which components your pump system needs? Are you ready to tackle the inevitable challenges that come with them? If not, put down that user manual and pick up the phone. Once you've got the expert advice, you have a few options for getting your hands on the right parts.
- Distribution
Need help picking the right dampener, or help with repairs or technical support? Distribution can help with more than just product. They provide all the necessary components from one purchase order. In addition, they have service departments and technical support. They are value-add—buy your pump, pulsation dampener, relief valves, diaphragm seals, back pressure valves and calibration columns all from one stop. Want it all assembled together? The right distributor will even build the skid for you.
- Direct from Manufacturer
If you are buying in repetitive quantities, consider going direct to the manufacturer. There is a slight catch, though—you have to make it worth their while. Want 5 pulsation dampeners? Think again. Want 5 pulsation dampeners A DAY? Heck yes! Go direct and have the right product delivered to your door. You will get direct access to the technical experts, but you’ll need to service and install the product yourself.
- Online Stores
You know what you need, you place the order on a website, you wait for it to arrive. No hoops to jump through and no salesman calling. Just enter your credit card number and voila! You will likely pay list prices, but it’s a hassle-free transaction. You are relying on your own knowledge and trust you know what you need.
