Information about Water Pumps

Water pumps are designed to move water that does not contain suspended solids or particulates. Applications include water supply, irrigation, land and mine drainage, sea water desalination, and condensate transport. While slurries and the like are best handled by wastewater or sewage pumps, water pumps can handle ground water, potable water and salt water. Water pumps are widely used in water supply distribution applications; for irrigation; land and mine drainage; condensate transport; and for sump and bilge pumping.

Products & Services Related to Water Pumps

Dosing Pumps

Dosing pumps are low-volume fluid pumps with controllable discharge rates used to inject additives into the mixing or pumping system.

Gear Pumps

Gear pumps use intermeshing gears to pump various types of liquids. Typically, one gear is the driver and the other is free wheeling. The gears have very tight tolerances so that the fluid being pumped cannot pass through them. Common uses for gear pumps include high pressure, metering, and flow control applications.

Magnetic Drive Pumps

Magnetic drive pumps are sealless pumps that use a coaxial magnetic coupling to transmit torque to an impeller. A standard electric motor drives a set of permanent magnets that are mounted on a carrier or drive assembly.

Plastic Pumps

Plastic pumps are designed to move fluids that would corrode or damage other types of pumps. They provide broad chemical resistance and are less costly and lighter in weight than metal pumps.

Positive Displacement Pumps

Positive displacement pumps use a mechanical force such as gears, bladders, pistons, plungers or diaphragms to push liquid through and out of the pump.

Sanitary Pumps

Sanitary pumps are used to transport and meter solutions, slurries, and colloids of food and agricultural materials in operations such as food processing that require cleanliness. There are four basic types of sanitary pumps: centrifugal, positive displacement, jet, and airlift.

Syringe Pumps

Infusion or withdrawal syringe pumps provide high pressure and high accuracy for applications such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Used to deliver precise amounts of fluid at specific time intervals.
