Selecting the Right Submersible Dewatering Pump

Understanding Your Site
Choosing the correct dewatering pump begins with three parameters: flow rate, total head, and solids content.
1. Flow Rate
Estimate the volume of water to be removed per hour. Undersizing leads to flooding; oversizing wastes energy.
2. Total Head
Account for both static lift and friction losses across the discharge line.
3. Solids Handling
Abrasive or solids-laden water demands hardened impellers and non-clog designs such as our ALDEW and SEW series.
