February 27, 2003  Lacey, WA - PUMP-FLO.com, the global pump selection portal, announced today that it has experienced significant growth in user registrations and manufacturer subscriptions during it's first quarter 2003 operations. PUMP-FLO.com's new user registrations have increased over 300% in the first quarter to total 30,000, and manufacturer subscriptions have increased 200% with the addition of Goulds Pumps, USFilter's EMU Pumps, American-Marsh Pumps, Alfa Laval, PACO Pumps, Johnston Pump, and RUHRPUMPEN.

"We are very excited to see the momentum of PUMP-FLO.com exceed our expectations," states Justin Johnson, Product Manager of PUMP-FLO.com. "The response for the market has been phenomenal since day one. Our feedback shows us that pump users, buyers, and specifiers truly value PUMP-FLO.com as a tool to streamline the pump selection process."

PUMP-FLO.com brings significant value to its users with a powerful technology platform and single interface. This greatly reduces the tedious chore of contacting each individual pump manufacturer, to gather the information necessary to make an informed purchasing decision. The site features a powerful search engine for pump users, specifiers, and buyers to size and select centrifugal pumps from leading manufacturers' online catalogs. The advanced online software platform gives users the ability to search across a manufacturers' entire product catalog to generate a dynamic pump curve based on a system design point search. Additional search criteria include: fluid properties, motor sizing, NPSH calculations, pump limits, and system operating points. Once a dynamic pump curve is generated, users have the ability to trim impeller diameters, adjust operating speeds, and dynamically generate electronic curves & data sheet reports.

The PUMP-FLO.com selection engine is powered by PUMP-FLO™, the industry standard pump selection software developed by Engineered Software, Inc. (www.eng-software.com). The PUMP-FLO technology has a user-base of over 80,000 worldwide.
