Light to Heavy Duty Submersible Pumps

What is a submersible pump

Selecting the proper submersible pump depends on the application, the type of fluid being handled, and site conditions. The right choice ensures longer equipment life, better efficiency, and lower maintenance costs

Consider these key factors:

• Application Type – Determine whether you’re handling wastewater, stormwater, slurry, or clean water. Each requires different materials and impeller designs.
• Flow Rate & Total Head – Calculate the required flow and head pressure to ensure the pump meets system performance demands.
• Fluid Characteristics – Identify solids size, abrasiveness, and chemical content. These affect pump material and seal selection.
• Power Supply – Match the pump’s voltage and phase (single or three-phase) to your available power source.
• Installation Environment – Evaluate pit depth, mounting method, and accessibility for maintenance.
• Material Construction – Choose stainless steel, cast iron, or special alloys based on corrosion and wear resistance needs.
• Duty Cycle & Run Time – Continuous or intermittent operation influences motor type and cooling design.
• Service & Support – Work with a supplier who provides start-up assistance, repair, and long-term parts availability.

Benefits of Our Submersible Pumps

1. Cavitation-Free Operation – The pump is fully submerged in the fluid, eliminating the need for suction-lift and preventing cavitation.
2. Cost-Effective Efficiency – Since the pump is submerged in fluid eliminating suction lift, frictional losses and energy usage are minimized.
3. Durability – Built to handle harsh fluids and tough environments.
4. Compact Footprint – Low-profile design fits tight or confined spaces.
