FAQ

End-suction pumps are the most cost-effective solution for most every day pumping applications. End-suction pumps are available from dozens of manufacturers, in a wide range of materials of construction, and offered as both off-the-shelf and custom-engineered products.

End-suction pumps can be found in virtually every industrial facility and water treatment plant in the world. In addition, they are commonly used in fire protection and HVAC systems, and as pressure-boosting pumps (booster pumps) in plumbing systems for large buildings such as big-box stores, stadiums, office buildings, and shopping malls.

Any close-coupled pump, whether of the end-suction design or not, will be designed for the impeller to mount directly onto the end of the motor shaft, and for the pump casing to bolt directly to the face of the motor. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this design.

Self-priming pumps are a type of end-suction centrifugal pump which can operate in a suction-lift configuration without requiring an external priming system.

Submersible pumps are used for a wide range of applications. If you have a small pump around your property or a well pump it is probably a submersible pump. Submersible pumps are also common in sewage applications, raw water pumping applications, and to remove storm water from structures like parking garages..
