Flow and total head
Estimate inflow and measure vertical lift plus friction losses along the full discharge length.

Choose a pump from realistic flow, total head, solids content, suction conditions and the discharge you're permitted to make.
Pumps and Fluid Management Hire in Australia covers a range of machine types and sizes. These are the most commonly hired, and what each is typically used for:
| Machine | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Submersible drainage pumps | Pits, excavations and basement dewatering |
| Self-priming trash pumps | Water carrying solids and debris on construction sites |
| Wellpoint & spear systems | Lowering groundwater in sandy soils ahead of excavation |
| Sewer bypass pumps | Maintaining flows during pipe and pump station works |
| High-pressure & fire pumps | Testing, wash-down and temporary fire protection |
| Tanks & sediment control | Settling, storage and treatment before discharge |
A useful enquiry tells the supplier what has to be achieved, where the equipment will work and what could change the selection. Include dimensions, quantities, material conditions, dates, the delivery route, unloading area and any site compliance requirements.

Sand, slurry, sewage and hydrocarbons each need different pump types and wear parts.
Critical dewatering needs standby pumps, alarms and a discharge compliant with local environmental requirements.

Small inflows suit submersible or trash pumps. High groundwater in sandy ground often needs wellpoints or spears. A supplier can advise from soil type and inflow.
Only if it meets local environmental requirements. Sediment-laden or contaminated water often needs settling, treatment or approval first.
Electric suits sites with reliable power and noise limits. Diesel suits remote sites and pumps that need to run independently.
It depends on fuel capacity, monitoring and risk. Critical jobs often use telemetry, float switches and standby pumps.
