When choosing between dirty water pumps, there are a number of key points to consider to ensure you get the best performance and trouble-free usage.

Let’s begin with the key questions you’ll need to answer when deciding between dirty water pumps:

What are the required Head and Flow Rates?
How far do you want to pump the water?
What sort of dirty water are you actually pumping? Is it cloudy, or does it contain heavy solids?
Is the pump likely to run dry? (This will vary depending on your application)

Additionally, is the application suitable for submersible slurry pumps, or would a self-priming pump be a better option?
