The Domestic Water Pump is a long established “positive displacement” machine which was originally designed many years ago specifically to provide fresh water from wells or nearby streams for domestic use. Many thousands have been sold world wide off the back of its reputation for very long life and reliability. Indeed we are providing overhaul facilities for pumps up to 40 years old.
The body of the machine is constructed mainly from cast iron components and the valves and plunger cups from neoprene and leather. Drive can be from a range of electric motors, Petrol or Diesel engines. The Pump will suck water from wells as deep as 6M and deliver up to a vertical height of 70M depending on the fitted drive.
Maintenance is very simple and replacement wearing parts, low cost.
Although the Pump was originally designed for fresh domestic water applications, in recent years it has also been used extensively for other functions such as:
In the UK machines are manufactured in our own factory. However there are opportunities to supply the machine to overseas customers on a PKD (part knock down) basis. In doing so, cost is reduced to the customer whilst at the same time creating valuable work for the local work force.
Efficient
Water is pumped on each forward and each return stroke of the plunger.
Smooth and quiet
Every pump is cushioned by the air reservoir contained in the air chamber. Lubrication is automatic.
Strong
The main body of the pump is cast iron. All moving parts are constructed from long life materials.

Suction Pump
The maximum suction lift including pipe friction is 25ft (7.6m) at sea level. This figure is reduced by 1ft (0.3m) for every 100ft (305m) increase in altitude.
Delivery Pipe
Minimum pipe bore is ¾" BSP. If the length exceeds 150ft (45m) it may advisable to increase the size. The pipe should be as straight as possible, use long sweep bends for changes in direction. The delivery outlet must be arranged for open discharge.
Automatic Electric Installation
The water level is maintained by the action of the float switch, which switches the pump motor on if the tank is emptied and off when the tank is full.
