When you're trying to move water, there are a number of options available, but water in your sewer system requires special handling. Because of the potential solids, bacterial load and similar concerns, when you need to get your greywater from point A to point B, you need an effluent pump, which is used to move water with limited solids. Here's a quick breakdown of what you should know to get started with effluent pumps and how to keep your pumps operating effectively through proper management.
When you're running new water lines, nothing can seem as time consuming as trying to get a successful pressure test. The cap takes forever to get into place, and then quite often pops loose before you've had a chance to get the entire line up to the pressure needed to test for leaks or weak points. Fortunately, the developers at Alpha are always creating better products for the water utility industry, and their restrained end cap can help make your pressure testing process easier and faster with superior results. Here's how:
When your water utility has low water flow or leaks, sometimes the problem area can be extremely difficult to detect. Your crews can spend hours checking one area and another without having any luck. Fortunately, Team EJP's focus on delivering superior solutions for your water utility needs has a new service to help you find those problem areas without having to invest in new tools, training and worker time. Here's more information on how this service works and how it can benefit your water utility.
At EJ Prescott, our customers have developed a strong respect for the high-quality products and materials we've brought to their attention over the years. But one aspect of our company that many customers may not be aware of is our sister companies. In particular, one of the areas where Team EJP has continued to work to provide the best possible experience for our water utility clients is in tool development. Towards that end, our sister company, New Concept Tools, was developed to provide the best options for our clients.
Anyone who has ever worked on a mechanical system has a dirty little secret - sometimes we don't have the time or resources to use the right tool. We get the job done, but sometimes it's at the cost of replacement parts, injuries or damaged pride. I don't know about you, but my damaged pride usually comes to light when my other half comes to see how things are going and catches me doing something really stupid! The additional time I spend or the money I need to invest in replacement parts is often higher than it would have been to just get the right tool in the first place. There's a reason why there are a million specialty tools out there, one for each and every job we seem to come across that requires something a little more. Here's why:
When you need to assess a pipeline, do you think it will work better to inspect it at no pressure or while it's under pressure? If you selected "under pressure", you're right, because a pressurized inspection mimics the system's normal operating conditions. But how do you inspect the system while it's under pressure? Using the camera Team EJP deploys in this type of situation, the JD7 Investigator. The Investigator provides some serious data in terms of video, acoustics and sonde measurements, helping track down your pipeline problems fast. Here's what you need to know:
With winter setting in, do you know what your options are if your mains freeze? The holiday season is just a few weeks away, and there's nothing worse than missing that big dinner with family to work on thawing out frozen lines with equipment ill-suited to the problem at hand.

They take your calls and direct Team EJP's highly trained professionals and equipment to where they're needed most, including our innovative Magikist pipe thawing technology. That means your mains get thawed, your customers get their service back on and you get to enjoy your time with your family.
