Meet compliance requirements & minimize total cost of ownership

Because every Pulsafeeder diaphragm pump uses a sealed diaphragm rather than dynamic shaft seals, chemical containment is inherent to the design, not an afterthought. Whether you are specifying a solenoid dosing pump for water treatment, a stepper motor pump for precision chemical feed, a continuous-duty mechanical pump for high-flow industrial applications, or a high-pressure hydraulic pump for oil and gas injection, Pulsafeeder offers a purpose-matched solution that meets your compliance requirements and minimizes total cost of ownership.

The Pulsafeeder Advantage: Diaphragm Pumps with Sealless Precision

Pulsafeeder diaphragm metering pumps use a reciprocating membrane to move fluid through a sealed chamber. This positive displacement design eliminates shaft seals and packing, providing a 100% leak-free barrier that prevents contamination and mechanical wear. That means you get:

  • Zero Leakage: No dynamic seals means no chemical spill risks or environmental liabilities—slashing the maintenance costs associated with centrifugal or gear pumps.

  • Universal Compatibility: Diverse wetted-end materials (PTFE, PVDF, 316SS) handle aggressive acids, slurries, and off-gassing chemicals like sodium hypochlorite.

  • Dosing Precision: Flow rate is governed by stroke length and frequency, ensuring consistent accuracy regardless of fluctuating system back pressure.

Pulsafeeder's Complete Portfolio of Diaphragm Metering Pumps

The Pulsatron Series is Pulsafeeder’s most versatile chemical dosing platform—industry-proven for more than 25 years across water treatment, agriculture, pool and spa, cooling tower, general industrial, and municipal applications. Solenoid actuation delivers reliable metering performance with a compact footprint and a broad range of control options, from simple manual stroke adjustment to 4-20mA and microprocessor control. NSF 61-certified models are available for potable water applications. The Pulsatron X Series meets Class I, Division 1 hazardous location ratings and Class II Division 1 dust ratings for operation in classified areas.
  • Pressure to 300 psi | Flow to 600 gpd | Turndown to 1000:1 (MP Series)
  • Control options: manual, external pace, 4-20mA, timer (T7), microprocessor (MP), ratio control (E+ RC)

  • HV Series handles viscous fluids to 20,000 cPs—flooded suction installation
All Pulsatron Series include standard bleed valve assemblies for safe, easy priming. For off-gassing chemical applications including sodium hypochlorite, options include Five Function Valves and Five Function Degas Valves (which also aid backpressure, anti-siphoning, and priming) or factory-configured degassing head models — providing flexibility to match the solution to the application.
The NextStep stepper motor diaphragm pump delivers near-constant chemical feed with 4,800-step digital resolution, eliminating the pulsation effects that require external dampeners on conventional pumps. Digital control of both the discharge and suction strokes allows the NextStep to reliably meter off-gassing chemicals and high-viscosity fluids that cause traditional pumps to lose prime. A solid PTFE diaphragm, five-year warranty including the diaphragm, and Modbus/RS-485 communication capability make the NextStep the premium choice for precision chemical dosing applications.
