Behind every good Rockstar is a crew that builds the stage, prepares the pyrotechnics, sets up the lights, and does all the sound checks. It’s no different when the Rockstar is an AODD (air-operated double-diaphragm) pump. In fact, our team is so good that every pump in the Versamatic lineup benefits from the work they do.

Valor, noun [latin valor valeo, to be strong, to be worth]; courage, bravery, prowess. So why give that name to a silly old AODD pump, you might ask? The answer is two-fold.

Most people think of long black hair, electric guitars, leather, and illicit substances when they hear the word “Rockstar”. In the pumping world, we’re talking about a much different image, however. Rather than a rap sheet tied with a wild lifestyle that risks a premature end, our Rockstar air-operated double-diaphragm pump boasts just the opposite.

When selecting an air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump for your application, you might ask yourself, “Would a standard AODD pump work well for my application, or do I need a specialty unit?” Unique aspects of your application may require specialty diaphragm pumps, such as FDA-compliant pumps, 3-A certified pumps, high-pressure or centrifugal pumps.
