Whether it be your garage, basement, backyard, pool or excavation site there is a solution for you.
The most common method of dewatering is using a submersible pump (sump pump). The pump is placed at the lowest point of the water and when the water level rises to a certain point the pump will send the water out to a suitable discharge point.
Like in any pumping application, it is necessary to match the pump type to the application by considering the above.
Vortex pumps are suitable for water with particles greater than 8mm, with lower head applications and will pump down to approximately 100mm. We would recommend the Davey Vortex Sumbersible Multi-Purpose Pump.
Semi Vortex pumps are suitable for water with particles greater than 4mm, higher head applications and will pump down to approximately 100mm. We would recommend the DAB Vertynova Submersible Pump.
Closed Vane pumps are suitable for cleaner water with particles less than 5mm, higher head applications and will pump down to approximately 80mm. We would recommend the Grundfos SB or SBA Submersible Pressure Pump.
There is also an option of the Flo-Kwip Puddle Sucker Pump which will pump water down to as little as 3mm, this pump is considered a semi vortex.
]]>Different water pumps are chosen and used for all different type of applications. Do you know what type of pump you need for yours?
Here we'll run you through the different types of pumps there are to suit your needs.
]]>In irrigation and water applications, different water pumps are used for different applications.
We're going to talk about most common types of pumps used just to get you started.
Pressure pump systems are used for household water through toilets, showers, taps and appliances and also for basic irrigation design applications. It has low flow and high pressure.
Transfer pumps are not used as commonly as the other types. A transfer pump is only used when moving water from one place to another; for instance, from a water tank to a garden pond. It has high flow and low pressure.
Firefighting pumps are used mostly in rural areas with farms and large open bush land. They are either petrol or diesel motors, depending on the application. Firefighters are high flow and high pressure, good for transferring a lot of water quickly without using any power.
Submersible pumps are quite commonly used in tank water run households and also used commonly as drainage pumps from pits or wells. They are designed with an automatic float switch to turn the pump on and off. It has high flow and low pressure.
