The unique design of the UW pumps permit the crankcase of the pumps to be flooded by seawater and thus, have zero differential pressure between the internal and external casing of the power-end. This will allow the UW pumps to operate in the deepest depths of the ocean.
The UW Pumps "DO NOT REQUIRE OIL OR GREASE" in the power-end. They are engineered to operate using seawater for cooling and lubricating the bearings and other moving components.
The UW pumps are well suited to be driven by a direct connected hydraulic motor. When mounted onto an ROV, thousands of dollars of expensive ultra-high pressure hose is eliminated. Depending on the operating depth, savings can exceed $100,000 dollars. In addition only about 20 feet of hose is required and thus, excessive pressure drop associated with long lengths of hose is eliminated. This permits all pressure generated by the pump to do productive work which means increased efficiency in the water jetting process.
