FAQ's

What is the best pump for municipal wastewater lift stations? The best overall pump for municipal wastewater lift stations is a: Submersible Solids-Handling Centrifugal Pump.

For slurry or coal applications, Barmesa agitator pumps use high-chrome internals to keep solids suspended and significantly extend pump life.

What is a Barmesa crossover for Gorman Rupp Self Priming Pump?  Crossover a Gorman-Rupp self-priming pump to a Barmesa BSP unit with equal performance faster availability, and competitive pricing for wastewater and solids-handling applications.

How do I choose a solids-handling sewage pump? The biggest factor in pump life isn’t horsepower — it’s matching the impeller to the solids. That’s where most failures happen.

What pump works for sludge transfer? For sludge transfer, the key is matching the pump to sludge thickness. Thin sludge usually works with a vortex solids-handling pump, while thick sludge typically needs a progressive cavity pump.

For standard jobs:

“Non-clog pumps are the most efficient and reliable for typical wastewater applications.”

For problem stations:

“A grinder pump eliminates clogging issues by cutting solids before they enter the system.”
