Frequently Asked Questions

  • What type of pump should I hire for flood water?

    For floodwater or areas with pooled stormwater, submersible pumps or trash pumps are usually the best choice. Submersible pumps are designed to work while fully submerged and are ideal for clean or slightly dirty water. Trash pumps, on the other hand, can handle debris, sludge and sediment—making them a better option for muddy or contaminated floodwater. It’s important to assess the water condition before hiring to choose the right pump for the job.

  • Can pumps be used for irrigation on farms or gardens?

    Yes, centrifugal pumps are commonly used for transferring water from dams, tanks or bores to irrigate farmland or large garden areas. They offer strong, steady water pressure and can operate over long distances depending on the pump size and setup. Some pumps are also compatible with sprinkler or drip systems. Make sure to check compatibility with your irrigation lines and water source before hiring.

  • Do I need any special training to operate a pump?

    Most portable pumps used for general site drainage or irrigation are simple to operate and don’t require special training. However, you should always follow safety instructions, avoid running the pump dry, and use proper hoses and fittings. For high-powered or commercial-use pumps, it’s helpful to get a brief overview from your hire provider to ensure safe setup and correct operation.
