Pump producers create a limited range of models that are able to handle a variety of liquids such as oils and non-corrosive liquids to extremely corrosive chemicals. The demands of keeping costs down has driven producers to only create a limited range but they do manufacture drum pumps that are chemically resistant to ensure that safety of those using them and to also safeguard against the fluid becoming contaminated with the various elements that make up the device that might cause corrosion. When you are using chemicals you must always ensure you use specialised chemical resistant drum pumps.

It also ensures the decreasing of downtime for the repairs when malfunctions occur and the safety guidelines and regulations that must be followed make the equipment absolutely reliable and safe to use. The extra amount you have to pay for a chemical resistant drum pump pays off in the sense that you receive a quality and reliable product. Well worth the investment in terms of reliability, safety and longevity.
