Choosing and sizing a dewatering pump
Three guides covering the decisions that come before a quotation: which series suits the water, which model meets the duty, and whether the unit should be diesel or electric. Every figure is taken from the published specification tables.
Clean water or solids: choosing between the B, K and L series
How to choose between clean-water and solids-handling centrifugal pumps. What solids handling actually rates, why the highest-flow model is not always the right one, and which eBORA series fits which duty.
Read the guideHow to size a dewatering pump
A practical method for sizing a dewatering pump: working out required flow, calculating total head including friction loss, and checking solids handling and port size. With a worked example.
Read the guideDiesel or electric: choosing the drive for a dewatering pump
How to choose between a diesel-driven and an electric-driven dewatering pump. What site power, duration, noise limits and running cost each decide, and how the chassis options fit.

Send the flow, the total head and what the water is carrying. If the total head is not known, describe the layout and our team will work it out.
