Couplings - AquaFlex compression couplings are precision machined and constructed from FDA and NSF approved high-quality 416 stainless steel for lasting strength and cycle life.

R

Rod Body - The pultruded rod bodies are made fromthe highest-quality fiberglass using a proven manufacturing process. The non- corrosive and easy-to-handle rods are lighter and stronger than steel!

Rod Guides - The patented design of AquaFlex rod guides ensures smooth operation and efficiency by minimizing friction-loss and extending the life of the rod. Theguides aremolded from 10% silicon glass-filled polycarbonatefor wear ability.

The patented rod guidedesign calls for one end of the guide

to flare outward, allowing for more adhesive to beapplied in the tapered cavity.

This translates into extreme holding power as therod string moves up and down in the

Quality Control

Quality is No Accident!

AquaFlex rods are put through strict quality control procedures in order to set the standardin water well sucker rod design and performance. For over 15 years, AquaFlex has been the brand leader in the industry due to the production of only the finest rods using the most efficient assembly processes.

Every component from one end of the rod tothe other is checked during the manufacturing process to ensure that each one meets orexceeds the required specifications, and won’tfail while operating once inside the pumping system. A fully assembled rod should be able to withstand operating loads far above what the field requires. A complete 3/4” AquaFlex rod is capable of holding 40,000 pounds of dead pull; and a complete 5/8’’ AquaFlex rod is capable ofholding 20,000 pounds of dead pull,bothwithout failure to the rod body or couplings. Therod guides themselves are capable of holding aminimum of 3,500 pounds of pressure in both directions before position release occurs.

R

R

Each rod is factory pre-tested to a minimum:

-7,500 lbs. of dead pull for 5/8’’ rods and -10,000 lbs. of dead pull for 3/4’’ rods

Assembled rods are always given a thoroughvisual inspection throughout the assembly procedure, and once more before they are securely fastened into easy to transport bundles.Always look for the AquaFlex tag labeling the rod bundles as a sign of the genuine product.

Comparison

We pull test our rods, when the others don’t!

Our rod has a substantially higher destruction point, meaning that you can count on AquaFlex rod to pull deeper and have a longer cycle life!

The non “flow-restricting” rod guides allow the rod strings to operate smoothly (at a minimum forty-two strokes per minute) without flotation of the rod string on the down stroke, which could create a loss in efficiency and possible premature failure of pumping equipment.

416 Stainless Steel Couplings provide superior rust prevention and meet FDA and NSF requirements for potable water applications.

Finally, every AquaFlex rod is backed by a 5 year guarantee, something the others wouldn’t even dream about!

Ranchers are finding the missing link to a more cost efficient pumping system. The reasons are obvious: - Patented FDA and NSF approved stainless steel couplings.

- Patented low friction, factory installed rod guides.

- Lightweight and easy to handle.

- Reduces wear and load on the pumping cylinder, the windmill motor, and even a pump jack motor.

- Selection of size and length.

- Time tested and proven.

- AquaFlex rods have a five year guarantee to depths of 2200’ feet.

- Cost effective.
