Pumper Phil LaRoche and his wife, Kathy, operate LaRoche’s Sewer, Drain & Septic Services, a full-service septic company in Faribault, Minnesota, a rural area in the central part of the state just south of Minneapolis. Since their start in 1974, the couple has always used traditional vacuum pumps on their septic trucks. But for a recent purchase, they decided to go a different route.“Another truck has a rotary-vane-type vacuum pump,” Phil LaRoche says, “but this one has a National Vacuum blower system. Blowers are getting to be the thing nowadays.”The company’s older service vehicle is a 2010 Mack Granite TM700
