Four ways to think about fluid movement. Explore general pump categories and the information that helps frame a selection enquiry.
01 / Transfer & circulation
A rotating impeller transfers energy to the fluid. Selection depends on the required flow, head, fluid properties and operating range.
02 / Below-surface operation
The pump operates within the liquid. Water level, solids content, installation arrangement and access for removal shape the selection brief.
03 / Pressure through stages
Multiple impellers arranged in series increase head. The duty profile and fluid conditions determine whether this configuration is appropriate.
04 / Responding to demand
A booster system combines pumps, controls and associated equipment to respond to pressure and flow requirements.

Technical questions
General engineering guidance for preparing a requirement. Final selection and application suitability require a qualified review of the actual system and current equipment data.
Start with the liquid and its temperature, required flow with units, total dynamic head or system layout, suction arrangement, power supply, duty cycle and site restrictions. A selection must be checked against manufacturer performance information and the actual installation.
Flow is the volume of liquid moved per unit of time. Head expresses energy per unit weight of the fluid as a height, and must account for the system’s static and frictional requirements. Both are needed to describe a pump operating point.
Submersible pumps operate in the pumped liquid. Liquid composition, immersion depth, solids content, access for removal and electrical protection are key parts of the assessment.
A booster system may be considered when the pressure available to an installation does not meet the changing demand. Required minimum and peak flows, pressure zones, incoming supply and control strategy need to be evaluated.
No. Confirm the existing nameplate, operating duty, installation interfaces, fluid, supply, allowable performance range and manufacturer compatibility before choosing a replacement.
