FAQ

1. How Large Can the Debris Be for a Sand or Sludge Pump?

Sand or sludge pumps can generally handle small debris. For example, our KZN370 model pumps can accommodate solids up to 1.5 inches.

2. What Is the Life Expectancy of a Sludge Pump?

Most sludge pumps will perform for about 10 years with proper maintenance and operation, sometimes much longer. However, factors including the pumping height and concentration of solids by weight can affect performance and the need for repairs.

3. Where Are Sand and Sludge Pumps Required?

Sand and sludge submersible pumps are required to move solid-containing water. Dredging operations, wastewater treatment, and gravel pit emptying are common uses.
