July 30, 2002 Lacey, WA - PUMP-FLO Solutions, the global standard for pump selection software, today announced the launch of ePUMP-FLO™ Version 7.1, the most powerful, cost effective Web-based selection software. ePUMP-FLO gives pump manufacturers and their distributors the most advanced solution for online pump selection and lead generation.

ePUMP-FLO v7.1 is a significantly improved product with a newly designed interface, faster calculation engine, advanced search criteria and complete lead generation capabilities. Other key enhancements to ePUMP-FLO v7.1 include a password protected eCatalog and a Request for Quote (RFQ) option.

"The launch of ePUMP-FLO v7.1 is a milestone achievement for PUMP-FLO Solutions," said Justin Johnson, PUMP-FLO Solutions Product Manager. "We recognized the need for a powerful, rapidly implemented, low cost online pump selection program, and responded with over six-months of research & development to extend PUMP-FLO's features and functionality into a web-enabled environment. The program's advanced selection, configuration, lead generation and management tools are the most innovative in the industry. With a top-tiered internal business model, we are able to offer manufacturers a customized online pump selection platform at an unbeatable price."

ePUMP-FLO benefits pump manufacturers and their distributors to decrease catalog printing costs and streamline the sales & pump selection process. Using ePUMP-FLO, manufacturers gain a hosted pump selection application to match the branding of their website. Customers log onto the manufacturer's site and enter their criteria, and the program generates a list of selected pumps meeting their specific need. With ePUMP-FLO v7.1, customers then have the option to view and print a detailed pump curve and data sheet.

The ePUMP-FLO platform was built on over 15 years of research & development, stemming from the industry standard PUMP-FLO Windows-based product, currently serving over 70 manufacturers and 80,000 registered end-users.
