The future of water pumps

Learn how Syllent is helping people save on lower stress and maintenance while saving money.  

While at the International Pool Spa Patio Expo last month, The Coffee Shops™ crew got the chance to host a soundstage in the show’s brand-new media village! With that soundstage, we got to meet and interview a variety of outdoor professionals, from manufacturers to contractors and beyond. One such interview we held was with Luiz Schmidt of Syllent. 

Syllent is a part of the larger Brazilian company Mundial, which is over 120 years old. They produce water pumps for bathtubs, spas and swimming pools. Luiz shared a bit about what sets their pumps apart from the competition, saying, “We had an engineer who developed a new pump technology – magnetic motors. These don’t use the mechanical bearings, seals or shafts that traditional pumps use. In fact, no metallic part touches the water, meaning that the corrosion is prevented and the pump lasts far longer with less maintenance.”  

Additionally, these pumps actually manage water better! Luiz explained, “As a bonus, since the rotor of this motor is floating in the water that's being pumped, it does not make any noise, hence the name Syllent. And another advantage of our pump, especially for spas and bathtubs, is that it helps to maintain the water temperature. Basically, when the water goes through the pump it cools the electric motor, which naturally heats the water. This doesn’t replace a water heater at all, but it does make a difference!” 

Ultimately, Syllent’s water pumps are leading the way into the future of bath, spa and pool management. Their longer lifespan means less money spent on maintenance and less stress related to replacing products.
