Submersible Pumps & Macerators
Our Range
Common Applications
- Sewage and Wastewater Treatment
- Stormwater Management
- Building Services
- Rainwater Re-Use
- Mobile and Temporary Solutions
- Basement and Underground Applications
Submersible pumps are used in various settings, including sewage treatment, stormwater management, building services, rainwater reuse, industrial processes, and agricultural applications. They handle different fluids, from sewage to stormwater, efficiently managing water flow in both commercial and residential areas. To choose the right size submersible pump, calculate the peak water demand in gallons per minute. We recommend determining this based on fixture count, considering all fixtures and faucets in a building to estimate peak usage.

FAQ
How long can a submersible pump stay underwater?
Submersible pumps are designed for continuous operation underwater and can remain submerged indefinitely when properly maintained. Their sealed construction ensures durability and consistent functionality in submerged conditions, making them suitable for long-term use.
Do submersible pumps use a lot of electricity?
Electricity consumption varies based on the pump’s size and purpose. While larger pumps for heavy-duty applications may consume more power, most submersible pumps are designed to be energy-efficient. Selecting the right pump size for your needs is essential to avoid unnecessary energy usage. For instance, a 1 HP submersible pump typically requires a 2.5 KW generator to run efficiently.
How much does it cost to install a submersible well pump?
The cost of installing a submersible well pump depends on the pump size, well depth, and labor charges. On average, pump prices range from $1000 to $5000, with installation costs varying based on the complexity of the setup and local labor rates.
Can a submersible pump be fully submerged?
Yes, submersible pumps are specifically designed to be fully submerged. Their sealed design prevents water ingress into the motor and electrical components, ensuring safe and efficient underwater operation.
Do submersible pumps need to be primed?
No, submersible pumps do not require priming. Since they operate underwater, they are already in direct contact with the fluid, eliminating the need for priming before use.
Which submersible pump is best oil cooled or water cooled?
The choice between oil-cooled and water-cooled submersible pumps depends on the application. Oil-cooled pumps are durable and can handle high-temperature environments, making them suitable for demanding applications. Water-cooled pumps are quieter and environmentally friendly but may not perform as well in extreme temperatures. Consider the operating environment to determine which option is more appropriate.
