What new technologies are influencing water pump design?

Biologicals for agriculture use. Living fertilizers contain beneficial microorganisms and the pumps must not damage them, but we need enough flow/throw to apply the material to trees and crops in spray systems with 300 ft of 1/2" hose.

From your perspective, which companies are creating the most innovative water pumps?
15 answers
Shurflow diaphragm pumps are pretty good. D/C is good but the psi is too low and flow could be better. Aquatec is better with psi of 70 but flow is only 5.2 gpm.
