Grundfos “Pumps on Tour” — a fully equipped, mobile educational center for trade professionals in the residential, commercial and industrial pumping industry as well as the groundwater and irrigation industry will make several stops throughout the Northeast region from April through June 2010.

As part of a 48-city, 8-month, nationwide tour, Pumps on Tour will have extended visits at the Atlantic Region Energy Expo (AREE) in Atlantic City, NJ and the National Association of Oil Heat Service Managers (NAOHSM) 57th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Providence, RI.

The Grundfos trailer will visit 48 U.S. cities.

Each tour stop offers trade professionals valuable opportunities to gain hands-on training from Grundfos staff and the ability to experience interactive pump displays. The 1,200-square-foot vehicle includes a mini-theater for viewing training videos and presentations, as well as a series of interactive working displays from a wide selection of pumping solutions from Grundfos.
