What It Is & Where It's Used

Vertical turbine pumps are multi-stage pumps with the pumping elements submerged in the fluid source. They use a vertical shaft connecting surface-mounted motors to underwater bowl assemblies, capable of pumping from significant depths with high efficiency.

Municipal water treatment plants, large irrigation systems, industrial cooling water, mine dewatering, and any application requiring high flow from wells, rivers, or reservoirs. Common in applications requiring 500+ GPM.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my vertical turbine pump needs service?

Declining capacity, increased vibration, unusual noise, or rising energy consumption all indicate service needs.

Can you rebuild vertical turbine pumps on-site?

Minor repairs can be done on-site, but major rebuilds typically require removing the pump for shop work.

What causes bowl assembly wear?

Sand, sediment, cavitation, and normal wear all contribute. We can assess your situation and recommend solutions.

Do you service both oil and water-lubricated designs?

Yes, we have experience with all vertical turbine pump designs and lubrication systems.
