Water and wastewater treatment facilities operate 24/7 in some of the harshest environments — outdoor exposure, high humidity, corrosive chemicals, and often in remote locations. Every component must be built for continuous duty, weather resistance, and long service life with minimal maintenance. Here's what we supply.
Pump Motors & Vertical Hollow Shaft
TECO-Westinghouse MAX-VH / MAX-VHP vertical hollow shaft motors from 5–500 HP — the standard for deep well pumps and lift stations. Plus NEMA Premium efficiency TEFC and ODP motors for blowers, aerators, and process pumps.

Pfannenberg now offers BABAA-compliant DTS 3000 cooling units, PWS heat exchangers, and PKS air-to-air heat exchangers with >55% U.S.-sourced content — qualifying for federal infrastructure funding on water and wastewater projects. NEMA 3R and 4X options for outdoor installations.
Pfannenberg →Transformers & Power Distribution
Rex Power Magnetics dry-type distribution and padmount transformers, AC line reactors for VFD systems, and custom enclosures. Micron ImperviTRAN control transformers with 20-year warranty for control panel builds.
Padmount Transformers → Micron →VFDs for Pump Control
Variable frequency drives for pump speed control deliver massive energy savings in water and wastewater applications. We supply AC drives paired with line reactors to reduce harmonics and protect motor insulation on long cable runs common at treatment plants.
View Drives →Alarm & Status Signaling
Pfannenberg visual and acoustic signaling devices for high-level alarms, pump fault indication, chemical leak detection, and facility evacuation. Weather-rated for outdoor installation at remote pump stations.

If your water or wastewater project is funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, BABAA compliance requires that manufactured products contain over 55% U.S.-sourced content. Pfannenberg now offers BABAA-compliant cooling units and heat exchangers specifically for these projects. Contact us for BABAA-compliant product documentation and part numbers.

What type of motor is used for deep well and lift station pumps?
Vertical hollow shaft (VHS) motors are the standard. TECO-Westinghouse MAX-VH and MAX-VHP vertical hollow shaft motors are available from 5 to 500 HP in both weather-protected and TEFC enclosures, specifically designed for water and wastewater pumping applications.
Are BABAA-compliant products available for federally funded projects?
Yes. Pfannenberg offers select DTS 3000 cooling units, PWS heat exchangers, and PKS heat exchangers that meet BABAA requirements with over 55% U.S.-sourced content. These qualify for federal infrastructure funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Contact us for compliant part numbers and documentation.
What enclosure type is best for outdoor water treatment installations?
NEMA 4X enclosures are the standard for outdoor water/wastewater. Stahlin fiberglass enclosures are the best long-term value because they cannot corrode — even in constant moisture and chemical exposure at treatment plants. For metallic requirements, Hammond 316 stainless steel Eclipse series provides NEMA 4X protection.
Do you supply padmount transformers for water treatment facilities?
Yes. Through Rex Power Magnetics and other qualified manufacturers, we supply dry-type and liquid-filled padmount transformers for outdoor power distribution at treatment plants and pump stations. Visit our padmount transformer quote page for more details.
