What Types of Pumps Are There?

  • Water Pumps: General purpose pumps for homes or small commercial needs.

  3. Power & Pressure Capacity – Match horsepower, flow rate (liters per hour or gallons per minute), and head height to your needs.

  4. Voltage & Electrical Requirements – If using solar or off-grid, voltage compatibility is crucial.

  5. Ease of Maintenance & Parts Availability – Access to pump parts, pump accessories, spare shafts, seals, etc.

  6. Warranty & After-Sales Support – From installation to servicing.
