Does IVS sell vacuum pumps?
Yes! We have an extensive inventory of both new and reconditioned vacuum pump equipment that come with a full warranty.
What does the IVS Warranty cover?
Our industry-leading warranty covers both the workmanship and parts we use in the rebuild process. Our warranty begins from the documented date of installation, not when the unit ships, like OEM’s and other third party pump rebuilders.
Our warranty does not cover exposure to significant process contamination (such as heavy particulate, moisture, or caustic chemistry) that may damage the pump. Our warranty will also not cover the improper use or mistreatment of the unit.
Visit the IVS Warranty page to read the policy in full and/or to submit a request for warranty.
