Which Pumping System is Right For You?

Feb 13, 2023

There are countless types of pumping systems out there, which all have very different functions. It can be hard to figure out which one will fit your needs. That’s why we’ve compiled this handy list of different pumping systems!

This list covers the basic pumping systems that are most commonly used in residential and commercial areas.

Submersible Pumping System

A submersible pump has a main pump body, with a motor attached through an airtight seal. This means that the pump can be fully submerged in water.

This type of pump system is used in almost every industry, as well as residential homes. They have a wide range of uses, including irrigation, water drainage, and groundwater pumping.

Submersible pump systems are typically energy efficient. This is because water pressure, rather than electricity, pushes water into the pump.

This pump system is also very quiet, since it is submerged in water.

The main issue with submersible pumping systems is the seal, which can become damaged or corroded over time.

Also, while the submersible pumping system has many uses, one type of submersible pump won’t fulfil all of these uses. ‘Submersible pumping system’ is a broad term that spans a range of different pumps, some of which can handle less work, and some which can handle thick waste liquid.

Effluent Pumping System

Effluent pumps are a type of submersible pumping system. They are designed for pumping ‘grey water’, or waste water with minimal solids.

Effluent pumping systems pump grey water such as laundry water and septic fluids. They are useful in cases where gravity alone can’t take the water to a house’s drainage system.

Effluent pumps can be built to a range of needs – cast iron pumps can withstand heavy use on an industrial scale, while thermoplastic pumps are highly affordable and easy to install or replace.

This type of pump system cannot handle waste water with solids.

Water Waste Pumping System

Water waste pumps are a type of submersible pump system designed to pump waste water with solids. These pumps direct the flow of sewage towards sewage treatment facilities.

Trade Waste Pumping System

Trade waste pumps are a type of water waste pump designed for industrial and commercial use. They are designed to transport large amounts of grey-water and sewage. Water waste pumps are a type of submersible pump system designed to pump waste water with solids. These pumps direct the flow of sewage towards sewage treatment facilities.

This type of waste pumping system can manage large volumes of waste water. It is used across all industries, businesses, and manufacturing premises.

This pump system is essential to any business for the removal of waste. They tend to be highly durable and capable of pumping massive amounts of waste.

This type of pump system tends to require a lot of space, and can be expensive to instal and maintain.

Potable Water Pumping System

This type of pump system takes contaminated water and converts it into safe drinking water. This is achieved through specialised treatment process.

This pump system can produce water that is safe for drinking, showering, cooking, or watering. It can treat water with a range of contaminants, including toxins, chemicals, microorganisms, and salt. This makes it perfect for ships as well as areas with contaminated water supplies.

This pump system is often an essential part of large ships. It can create drinking water from seawater, making long journeys a possibility. It can also introduce drinking water to residential areas and communities with contaminated water.

This type of system can be expensive to install or maintain.

Solar Water Pumping System

This type of pumping system is powered by solar panels. They can be either grid-connected or off-grid depending on the needs of a client.

This type of pump system is perfect for WA mining companies, due to the high sun exposure in rural WA. They’re also great for farm irrigation systems.

These pumps are highly cost efficient, especially in Australia, since they’re powered for free – by the sun. For mining and farm industries, buying fuel can be a major expense, and this pump system helps to mitigate the cost.

They’re also great for the environment, since they rely on renewable resources.

The major drawback of solar water pump systems is the same as the pro – its reliance on the sun. If this system is not connected to the grid, it will only be able to pump during the day. However, with grid-connected systems this isn’t a problem.

This type of pump also tends to have a fairly high upfront cost.
