Graco QUANTM FAQ
What is an EODD pump and how is it different from AODD?
EODD = Electric Operated Double Diaphragm. It eliminates compressed air, cutting energy as much as 80% vs. AODD (air-operated) and adds precise control.
What does “stalls under pressure” mean?
If a line clogs or a valve shuts, QUANTM simply stops without damage and restarts when cleared—no extra sensors or controllers needed.
Can the QUANTM run dry?
Yes. It can run dry indefinitely without damage, preventing costly repairs common in other technologies.
Is it quieter than our current AODD pumps?
Yes. It’s electric with no air muffler exhaust. Real installs see ~23% lower noise and easier OSHA compliance.
How does James specify a QUANTM pump?
He sizes the pump and integrates tanks, flowmeters, and SCADA-ready controls to guarantee “owned outcomes”—maximum uptime and zero guesswork.
