A distributor in Montana recently put in a Cyclone 5RB VT turbine (5RB-VT8-50HP-1800RPM). This 5” bowl, 6’ long version of our vertical turbine line will help with irrigation on a ranch.
Cornell officially debuted our VT series last January. Already hundreds have been installed throughout the country. More information about this robust, energy-efficient offering from Cornell Pump, available here: https://cornellpump.com/pump-products/clear-liquid-pumps/
Recently, we shared best practices for suction piping. This week, we’re focusing on the other side of the pump—discharge piping.
When selecting a self-priming pump, it’s easy to focus on specs like flow and lift. But in real-world applications, efficiency is what drives long-term success. Cornell’s STX-Series pumps are engineered to deliver not just performance—but highly efficient, reliable operation that reduces costs and downtime over the life of the pump.

When I’m helping a grower size a pump for a drip irrigation system, we always start with the basics—but the conversation usually goes a lot deeper than just picking a pump off the shelf.
