How Does SPILLGUARD™ Work?

1. Install SPILLGUARD by hard-piping it to your AODD pump’s exhaust port. Alternatively, if space is extra tight, place SPILLGUARD in its stand and position it in a more convenient location.
2. Connect SPILLGUARD to your shop air supply using the provided 50 PSIG regulator.
3. When a diaphragm begins to leak, fluid will disperse through the pump’s exhaust and begin to collect within the SPILLGUARD.
4. SPILLGUARD’s float will begin to rise. When it rises high enough, it will trigger the shutoff valve and cut the air supply to the pump.
5. No longer receiving compressed air, the pump will automatically shut off.
6. Fluid is no longer being pumped, the spill is contained within SPILLGUARD, and the leaking diaphragm can be addressed without losing product.

The Importance of Spill Prevention

As anyone familiar with the function of an AODD pump can attest, pump diaphragms will fail. When they do, process fluid is expelled through the pump’s air exhaust port, spilling into the environment. Spills can result in significant expense due to lost product, material cleanup, EPA reporting, and system downtime. More importantly, spills resulting from pump diaphragm failure put personnel at risk of serious injury.
