Over the past decade, IR ARO pumps have become exceptionally popular as the brand has expanded its products and become more established in the industry. Unfortunately, this has led to the manufacture and sale of ‘pirate parts’.
In some cases, pump owners may be tempted to purchase these disingenuous parts as they are less expensive and advertised as being exactly the same as genuine parts. There are many risks involved with purchasing pirate parts, which we will be looking at in this article.
Our wide range of authentic ARO diaphragm pump parts and accessories are built exactly by ARO to complement your pump. Accessories such as Pump Actuation Valves, Diaphragm Failure Detection Kits, Pump-Mounted Cycle Counters and Pulsation Dampeners will keep your diaphragm pump maintained and running, all while saving you time and money.
The Risks Involved With Pirate Parts
IR ARO invests a lot of time and money into the development of their technology, and the parts are not easily replicated.
When you buy pirate parts, you are risking imperfect installation of the part and inauthentic use, which could lead to drops in productivity and even failure of your pump system. This can lead to accidents and injury. And this is really not worth the risk!
Wave Goodbye To Your Warranty
Most warranties will specify that in order for the warranty to remain valid, you will need to only use genuine parts. If you decide to purchase pirate parts instead, you can wave goodbye to any protection your warranty offers.
Any repairs you make to your IR ARO pumps should be performed by someone authorised to do so.
More Costs
Genuine IR ARO parts are designed for you to enjoy maximum performance and longevity with your pumps. While pirate parts may have a lower purchase price, you will pay more when it comes to operation costs, maintenance and repairs. The financial risk is even more when you consider that your entire pump system could break down and your warranty will be invalid.
What Do Pirate Parts Look Like?
The major problem is that some companies are selling pirate parts and trying to pass them off as genuine, so it can be hard to know what exactly you are buying. But pirated parts will be significantly cheaper than genuine parts, they’ll be of lower quality (often thinner), there won’t be an operator manual included, and the number of parts may be limited.Are you looking to purchase IR ARO pumps in Australia?
