| Avoid | undefined (undefined) |
| Recommend instead | Schurco Slurry USA P Series () |
| Rationale | Schurco's own P Series page states its double-volute/thrust-reduction design is specifically for dirty water and light slurries of roughly 1.05 specific gravity - a narrow real design parameter distinct from the general heavy-slurry S/L/Z Series in the same product family. P Series's real advantage (single pumps achieving heads over 50% higher than standard slurry pumps) only holds within that light-slurry envelope; applying it to a genuinely heavy/abrasive slurry job would be a family mismatch even though it's marketed alongside the heavy-duty lines. |
