Water reaching the pump
- Source and water characteristics
- Tank water level or inlet pressure
- Pipe size, route and fittings
- Available voltage, phase and frequency
Surface water supply
Surface and
booster pumps
Describe how water reaches the pump, where it needs to go and the pressure required at the outlet. Those details help define a surface pump or booster arrangement for the application.
Prepare a booster requirementStart with the water task
Where does the water
need to go?
For this range, start with a requirement. Specific models and their ratings are confirmed in the proposed configuration.
Transfer water from storage
Describe the tank, its level relative to the pump, the delivery point and the pipe route. Include the amount of water needed over the available running time.
Add pressure at the point of use
State the available inlet conditions and the required outlet pressure at the intended flow. Include any existing pump or pressure equipment.
Serve changing water demand
Explain which outlets operate together and how demand changes. Describe the start/stop or pressure-control behaviour you want.
Build the brief
Describe both sides of the pump.
Water needed at the outlet
- Required flow and pressure together
- Delivery elevation and pipe route
- Operating hours and demand changes
- Controls and installation items required
If a measurement is missing, mark it as unknown. Do not substitute well depth or a pump’s maximum head for the actual duty.
One requirement, one scope
Include the controls
and connections.
Say whether you need a pump alone or a package with pressure control, sensing and installation components. A pressure vessel or integrated unit should be specified explicitly if required.
Explore pressure controlExample first message
“We need to transfer water from a storage tank and maintain pressure at the outlets. Please review a suitable arrangement. We can provide the demand, tank levels and pipe route.”
Illustrative enquiry. Include the information you have in the enquiry notes.

Water supply
Match the supply to the demand.
A water supply installation may need a borehole pump, a transfer pump or pressure control. Describe the source and the outlets that need to operate together.
Your next step
Tell us about the supply task.
Start with the water source, the required output and the destination. We can use that brief to discuss a proposed product configuration.
