What is a sump pump, and how does it work?

A sump pump is designed to remove water that has accumulated in a sump basin, typically found in basements or crawl spaces. It works by detecting rising water levels and automatically pumping the water away from the area to prevent flooding.

Can sump pumps handle solids or debris?

Most standard sump pumps are designed for clean water. However, if your application involves debris or solids, you may need a specialised sump pump with a grinder or solids-handling capability.

What is a pumping station, and what is it used for?

A pumping station is a facility designed to move water, wastewater, or other fluids from one location to another, especially in situations where gravity flow is insufficient. They are commonly used in municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications.

What is a dewatering pump, and when is it used?

A dewatering pump is used to remove unwanted water from construction sites, mines, or flooded areas. It’s ideal for situations requiring the rapid removal of large volumes of water.

What types of dewatering pumps do you offer?

We offer a range of dewatering pumps, including centrifugal, submersible, and trash pumps, each suited for specific applications like handling debris, high flows, or deep water.

What is a slurry pump, and what is it used for?

A slurry pump is designed to handle abrasive, high-density slurries typically found in mining, dredging, and industrial applications. These pumps are built to resist wear and maintain efficiency under tough conditions.

How do I select the right slurry pump for my application?

Choosing the right slurry pump depends on factors like slurry concentration, particle size, and flow rate. Our team can guide you through the selection process to ensure optimal performance and durability.
