For over 85 years, John Brooks has helped municipalities and businesses maintain clean, safe, and efficient water infrastructure. From pumps and filters to lift stations, heaters and separators, we connect engineers and operators with the right municipal equipment from trusted industry brands. By combining technical expertise with high-quality products, we help municipalities improve system reliability, reduce maintenance, and optimize long-term performance.

Comprehensive Municipal Equipment from Leading Brands

Lakos has supported municipalities in debris removal from processed water since 1972. Their line of separators, systems, screens, and filters includes standard- and high-efficiency liquid-solid separators, elevated separators for enhanced solids handling, oil-filtration systems, crumb- and fine-removal separators, and pump intake screens. These solutions help protect downstream equipment and improve overall system reliability. By removing solids early in the process, municipalities can reduce maintenance downtime, extend the life of pumps and valves, and maintain a consistent water flow, which is crucial for operational efficiency and system longevity.

Hydro-Thermal’s NOH non-obstructing heaters ensure smooth municipal processes by delivering unrestricted flow, precise temperature control, and rugged construction. Key benefits include minimal noise, high turndown heating control, maintenance that requires no special tools, and instant, uniform heating for sludges and slurries. These heaters help municipalities maintain consistent process temperatures, optimize energy use, and reduce operational disruptions in temperature-sensitive applications

Gorman-Rupp ReliaSource lift stations are pre-engineered, above-ground pump stations designed to move wastewater from low-lying areas to higher elevations. Each station is custom engineered, built, assembled, and pretested, providing cost-efficient, long-lasting, and dependable wastewater pumping solutions. By simplifying installation and reducing maintenance complexity, Gorman-Rupp ReliaSource lift stations enable municipalities to increase uptime, enhance safety, and lower long-term operational costs.

Vahn-Tech valves deliver strong performance in water and wastewater systems through corrosion-resistant designs built to AWWA standards. Their air-release, check, gate, and butterfly valves offer reliable flow control, water-hammer protection, and long-term operational efficiency, making them ideal for demanding municipal applications. Proper valve selection and installation ensure consistent pressure management, helping to prevent costly system failures.


Finally, Seepex Smart Air Injection (SAI) systems combine progressive cavity pumps with compressed air conveyance to efficiently move sewage sludge over long distances. By maintaining low pipeline pressure, the system reduces operating costs, extends service life, and delivers energy-efficient, low-friction sludge transport, capable of moving wastewater up to one kilometre. These systems help municipalities handle demanding sludge applications with minimal energy consumption and mechanical stress.
