- A-C Pump - ITT Industries Inc.
Description
As North America grew and expanded, the need for wastewater treatment, flood control and drinking water service followed the growth of cities and the movement of population. A-C Pump and Goulds Pumps have been at the forefront of every major innovation in pumping technology, pioneering the designs and materials that have assured dependable, uninterrupted, high-efficiency service.
A-C Pump's track record goes back as far as 1872, when our first pumping engine - delivering 5,500 GPM at a 200 ft head - went into service for the City of Milwaukee, WI. Twelve years later, in 1884, we built the world's largest centrifugal pump in Chicago, rated at 48,000 GPM against a 13 ft head. We manufactured fifty of these high-reliability, high-performance units.
Our service to the pollution control industry also dates back to the 1880s when low-water conditions and pollution in the Milwaukee river threatened boating and the water supply. Large quantities of fresh Lake Michigan water was needed to flush the river. We originated a pump with a 14 foot diameter impeller - predecessor of today's axial flow and mixed-flow technology - that flushed the Milwaukee river by replacing its entire volume every 18 hours. At the time, this was the largest quantity of water handled by any machine in the world...and it remains in service after more than 100 years!
