4 Reasons To Use Genuine Spare Parts In Pumps And Treatment Systems

Wastewater utilities operate on tight budgets, making saving money top-of-mind when it comes to almost any decision. As such, it is all too common to use cheaper, off-brand parts to maintain or repair pumps, mixers, treatment systems, and more. Cost isn’t the only driving factor either. The availability of generic components from local dealers or service providers can make them more attractive.

Regardless of the reason, using cheaper, non-genuine parts carries risks and long-term expenses that often outweigh the initial savings or other conveniences. Generic parts may not meet original, stringent equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, leading to premature wear and tear, increased long-term costs, and potentially catastrophic equipment failures. Instead, utilities should authentic spare parts from the OEM, which can help extend the life of their equipment and realize a host of other benefits that far outweigh any short-term savings.
