Pumps and Controls

Pumps and controls move water reliably when gravity is not enough. Selection depends on flow, head, duty cycle, solids, power, controls, and maintenance access.

Selection factors

  • Design flow rate and operating range.
  • Total dynamic head, static lift, pipe losses, and fittings.
  • Water quality, solids, grit, and corrosion concerns.
  • Controls, floats, alarms, telemetry, backup power, and redundancy.
