Upgrades to the Flygt 2600 drainage pump series have been designed to make them even more reliable and durable than before. Xylem vice president and business unit leader Andrew Jones said that they are ideal for the toughest dewatering applications. He said that they have at least three times more wear resistance than conventional drainage pumps.
