Booster Pumps - used to increase the pressure of liquid that is already flowing in a system. They are considered centrifugal type and are often used in combination with vertical turbine or vertical submersible pumps to further boost the pressure (head) in a system

Centrifugal Pumps - are often the best choice for low viscosity (thin) liquids and high flow rates. The pump uses one or more impellers that attach to and rotates with the shaft. The rotation of the impeller creates energy that moves liquid through the pump and pressurizes the liquid to move it through the piping system.

Close Coupled Pumps - Close coupled pumps do not have a separate coupling between the pump and motor. This eliminates the need for coupling alignment, which saves time and money.

Diaphragm Pumps - use a flexing diaphragm to move fluid into and out of the pumping chamber. They are a type of reciprocating positive displacement pump.

Dosing Pumps - can deliver fluids at a very precise flow rate. They allow for the manual adjustment of the flow rate.

End Suction Pumps - a type of centrifugal pump that has a casing with the suction coming in one end and discharging out the top.

Explosion Proof Pumps - built to prevent the pump from becoming ignited and exploding. Within explosion-proof pumps the motor and wiring is designed to eliminate the possibility of a spark which could cause an explosion.

Gear Pumps - a type of rotary positive displacement pump in which liquid is pumped by passing between two meshing gears and the surrounding casing. They are available as both internal and external types.

Horizontal Split Case Pumps - incorporate a single double suction impeller supported between bearings. The pump casing is split horizontally for easy maintenance and the suction and discharge flanges are opposed to each other.

Hose Pumps - Hose pumps, or peristaltic pumps, are a type of positive displacement pump that use a roller to move fluid through a tube or hose.

Hydraulic Pumps - a type of PD pump used to pressurize hydraulic fluid. The fluid is then used to do work by operating pistons in a hydraulic system. There are many different types, including: piston, gear, screw, plunger, and vane pumps

Jet Pumps - a type of centrifugal end suction pump. Jet pumps incorporate a special attachment to generate a vacuum, which helps draw water up the well. Jet pumps are often used in the basement of the building or in a pump house.

Magnetic Drive Pumps - a type of pump that is powered by the force of magnetism rather than a motor. They are generally considered centrifugal pumps, but there are also some versions of PD pumps.

Metering Pumps - considered a type of reciprocating positive displacement diaphragm pump that move fluids at precise flow rates. Most have the ability to manually adjust the flow rate.

Multistage Pumps - use multiple impellers to generate more head than single stage (single impeller) pumps. They are available in both horizontal and vertical configuration.

Piston Pumps - move and pressurize fluid using one or more reciprocating pistons, which are normally driven by an electric motor through a crankshaft and connecting rod.

Plunger Pumps - a type of reciprocating positive displacement pump used to move fluids and generate high pressures.

Positive Displacement Pumps - also known as a PD pump, does not have impellers, but instead uses rotating or reciprocating parts to push the liquid in an enclosed volume, until enough pressure is built up to move the liquid through the piping system.

Rotary Pumps - a classification of positive displacement pumps that use rotating mechanisms to move fluid.

Screw Pumps - use two or more intermeshing screws to pressurize fluids through a piping system.

Self-Priming Pumps - are considered centrifugal pumps that can be located above the suction reservoir without an external priming system. To remove any air from the suction line or pump casing, they are designed to be primed before they are started.

Submersible Pumps - a centrifugal pump designed to function with the pump and motor submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The motor is sealed to prevent any fluid from seeping in.

Turbine Pumps - used to draw fluid from a deep well. Most are vertical centrifugal pumps with the pump submerged in the fluid to be pumped.

Vacuum Pumps - used to pull air, gas, or water out of an area in order to produce a partial vacuum.
