How to Find the Right Pump

Pump suppliers often hear their customers say, "I need a six-inch pump." This is a typical request but lacks the vital information necessary for choosing the correct pump for a particular application. While the same pump can be used for dewatering, mining or other related applications, end users must evaluate several factors to determine the best fit for their pumping needs. These factors include the pumped material, the distance from the pump and the elevation difference from the source to the discharge point.
