Introducing the QUALI-FLO™ 2” Aluminum Flap Valve Pump
March 6, 2025
At Sparkling Clear Industries, we take pride in providing high-quality industrial pumping solutions that keep operations running smoothly. As a trusted distributor of NOMAD® Pumps, we’re excited to introduce the latest innovation from JDA Global—the QUALI-FLO™ 2” Aluminum Flap Valve Pump.
This new pump is designed to be 100% retrofittable to a major market leader’s model, making it a seamless replacement option for industries that rely on heavy-duty performance. With its rugged design and superior solids-handling capabilities, the QUALI-FLO™ pump is ideal for demanding applications in mining, construction, and marine industries.
Why Choose a Flap Valve Pump Over a Ball Valve Pump?
When selecting an air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump, flap valve pumps and ball valve pumps are two of the most common options. But in applications where large solids and high-viscosity fluids are a concern, flap valve pumps offer several key advantages:
- Superior Solids Handling – Flap valve pumps allow for larger solids to pass through, reducing the risk of clogging or blockages. This makes them ideal for applications dealing with sludge, slurry, and debris-laden fluids.
- Enhanced Durability in Tough Environments – Built for rugged conditions, the QUALI-FLO™ pump’s aluminum construction provides strength without excessive weight, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty operations.
- Increased Efficiency in High-Viscosity Fluids – Unlike ball valve pumps, which rely on gravity to seat the check balls, flap valve pumps operate efficiently even with thick, heavy materials, ensuring a more consistent flow.
- Seamless Retrofit Compatibility – If you’re currently using a competitor’s pump, this 100% retrofittable design means you can switch to NOMAD’s QUALI-FLO™ pump with minimal downtime or modifications.

At Sparkling Clear Industries, we take pride in helping our customers solve real problems with practical, reliable solutions. One of our current projects is a great example of what that looks like in action. A local manufacturer came to us with a costly challenge: their wastewater stream contained enough oil and grease that it had to be hauled offsite for treatment. That process was costing them nearly $40,000 every month. Instead of continuing to pay for disposal, they wanted a long-term, on-site solution. Our team got to work.
As 2025 comes to a close, our industry has one more opportunity to come together—not just for networking, but to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in our community. Sparkling Clear Industries is proud to join Brock Group and LEL Environmental as sponsors of the Holiday Toy Drive Industry Night at Schafer’s on Thursday, December 4th.

What to expect: Door prizes, good food and drink (with the added benefit of caring for community: you’re encouraged to bring a canned good for The Bridge Over Troubled Waters ). What to do next: Mark your calendar for November 13. Register for the event if you haven’t yet. (Here’s the registration link.) When you see us there, drop by and let us know what’s happening in your operation — downtime threats, upcoming shutdowns, filtration and vessel challenges — we want to talk solutions.
