We’re excited to share that MDM Pumps CEO, Ben Ashe, recently joined hosts Joseph Arlotto and Dr. Jeff Keaffaber on the latest episode of the Inflow Podcast, a leading platform for discussions on aquatic life support systems (LSS).

In this insightful episode, Ben shares his extensive background in saltwater systems and managing corrosive chemical environments—experience that has shaped MDM’s commitment to durable, high-efficiency pump solutions. Whether you’re selecting a pump for a new application, troubleshooting VFD issues, or learning how a pump curve impacts system head, Ben breaks it all down with clarity and passion.

The conversation also dives into:

• Fundamentals of pump operation

• Selecting the right pump for specific applications

• Variable drive technology and how VFDs work (and what can go wrong)

• The importance of understanding head pressure and system curves

• MDM’s online tool to help users choose the right pump

• Preventative maintenance and the value of timely pump rebuilds

• How MDM’s team collaborates with customers to solve challenges

Ben’s appearance is a must-listen for aquatics professionals, engineers, and anyone involved in aquatic system design or maintenance.
