Peripheral pumps Peripheral pumps (also known as vortex, turbine or regenerative pumps) are a niche pump type that sit somewhere between centrifugal and positive displacement type pumps as they are able to produce the high discharge pressures of positive displacement pumps, with the flexible operation of centrifugal pumps but with a less variable flow rate.
Borehole pumps Borehole pumps (also known as well pumps, bore pumps or water bore pumps) are used to draw water from an underground source, namely from a drilled borehole well or a dug well. These pumps are designed for borehole and submersible pressure systems, and vary depending on the hole depth, and the required flow
Chemical pumps Chemical pumps are used to move chemicals and chemical slurries, and are designed to be resistant to corrosion and abrasion from industrial liquids such as fuel, paint, bleach, solvents, etc. They are able to handle fluids of varying viscosity and can also be used as metering pumps to provide flow measurement and control

Solar pumps As the name suggests, solar pumps are designed to use the electricity produced from photovoltaic (PV) modules to function. They are available in solar power only, as well as hybrid versions where the pump can switch between solar and electric/diesel for when there is limited sunlight. They also come in a variety of
Motors, drives and engines Motors play a vital role in pumping systems, acting as the drivers for most pump types. The most common types of motor used in pumps are electric motors. The most common type of electric motors used for pumps in Australia are AC induction motors. Pumps can also be driven by hydraulic
