Water
Water and wastewater pump applications span the full spectrum of industrial and municipal infrastructure — from clean water supply and pressure boosting through to raw sewage lifting, sludge transfer, and stormwater drainage. Each stage of the water and wastewater treatment process has specific pump requirements, and selecting the wrong pump type leads to rapid wear, blockages, and costly downtime.
Pump Power Australia supplies pump solutions for water authorities, municipal councils, industrial facilities, and civil infrastructure projects across Australia — backed by over 35 years of technical experience in the water sector.
Water & Wastewater Pump Applications
- Water supply and distribution — raw water intake, clear water transfer, and reticulation pressure boosting
- Sewage pump stations — wet well submersible pumps for raw sewage lifting and transfer
- Sludge and biosolids handling — transfer of thickened sludge, digested biosolids, and dewatered cake
- Stormwater drainage and flood mitigation — high-flow pumping of stormwater containing solids and debris
- Irrigation and agricultural water supply — large-volume transfer from rivers, dams, and bores
- Industrial effluent treatment — transfer of process water and contaminated effluents to treatment systems
Recommended Pump Types for Water & Wastewater
- Centrifugal pumps — the workhorse of water supply, irrigation, and general water transfer
- Submersible pumps — sewage pump stations, stormwater sumps, and wet wells
- Progressive cavity pumps — thickened sludge, biosolids, and solids-laden wastewater transfer
- Archimedean screw pumps — large-volume, low-head wastewater and stormwater lifting at treatment plants
- Grinders & macerators — protects downstream pumps by reducing rags, wipes, and solids in sewage systems
- Horizontal split case pumps — large water supply and high-flow transfer applications
- Propeller / axial flow pumps — very large volume, low-head stormwater and irrigation transfer
