High temperatures, sometimes used to improve cleaning efficiency, can intensify problems for pumps with dynamic seals. Water at 90°C is 64 times more corrosive than water at 20°C.
Hydra-Cell seal-less pumps are used in vehicle cleaning systems not only for their high pressure capability, but because of their simple build, low maintenance and reliability. They tolerate chemicals and abrasive particles (up to 1mm or more) without needing fine filtration. They are also sustainably energy efficient – a big factor in their exceptionally low operating costs.
Compared with multi-stage centrifugal pumps, the pumping efficiency of the Hydra-Cell can give significant energy savings from the outset. But any seal-reliant pump, even if theoretically close to the Hydra-Cell in efficiency, will waste energy if seal wear begins and performance is allowed to fall away.

What our customers say about our pumps...
“Wanner has been a fixture at AVW for at least 30 years. …Looking at other pumps, generally you’ll be maintaining, repairing or rebuilding at least once a year. Wanner pumps will be in service for years before any replacement is needed."
Bob Schaefer, AVW Equipment
“Our systems have tens of thousands of components and the Wanner pump is one of the items we never have to be concerned about. Its reliability is a huge advantage in our marketplace, as a broken-down car wash will generate zero dollars.
John Schram, PECO Car Wash Systems
“Wanner pumps end up being a very cost-effective product as the day in and day out reliability and lack of any maintenance required gives the operator more free time to do other things.”
