Vertical Sump Pumps

Vertical Sump Pumping Solutions

A vertical sump pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is designed for use in industrial applications. It is mounted on the side of a sump pit, and the pump shaft extends vertically down into the pit. The pump impeller is located above the liquid level in the pit, and it draws the liquid up and discharges it vertically upward.

A vertical sump pump is typically used to pump liquid from a pit or a tank. It can be used to pump water, wastewater, sludge, or any other type of liquid. The pump impeller is located above the liquid level in the pit, and it draws the liquid up and discharges it vertically upward. This type of pump is ideal for applications where a horizontal pump would be unsuitable, such as in pits that are deep or narrow.

One disadvantage of a vertical sump pump is its limited pumping capacity. It can only pump a certain amount of liquid before it needs to be emptied. Another disadvantage is that it can be difficult to access the pump for maintenance or repair. However, these pumps are typically less expensive than horizontal pumps, and they are more compact and easier to install.

There are several different types of vertical sump pumps available on the market, and each one has its own set of features and benefits. It is important to select the right pump for the application, and the best way to do that is by consulting with a Kirkwood pump specialist.
