Short Shaft Pumps

Advantages

•Ideal for pumping in a pond.
 

• When mounted on a pontoon in a pond they pump just below the surface.
 

• Some models have a balanced shaft with no bearings or seals in the water.

Disadvantages

• Can be difficult to get to if mounted on a pontoon. Some pontoons have gangplanks out to the pump.
 

When mounted on a pontoon in a sump, they can be difficult to service.

Things to consider

If the pump has a mechanical seal then get an estimate on what it would cost to have the pump repaired. It is best to know these costs before something happens.

 

Check the warranty conditions.

​

These pumps work well with a stirrer combination. This helps with the dilution of the solids.

​

Sand is very hard on these pumps and if not controlled can cause premature ware.
