Pumps - Dewatering Pumps
There are many types of dewatering pumps available. Generally, there are four types of pumps, such as submersible pumps, centrifugal pumps, trash pumps, and diaphram pumps, that can remove water from a given area.
Submersible Pumps are ideal for removing water from confined areas. A compact design and high performance enables these pumps to get the jobe done where other pumps fall short.
Centrifugal Pumps are designed to handle all types of clear water applications. Ideally used for construction, municipal, agricultural and residential applications .
Trash Pumps are built to meet the requirements of the professional contractor. Trash pumps are used to dewater with high solid contents, such as leaves, sticks, and stones which easily pass through the pump.
Diaphram Pumps deliver dependendable performance and low maintenance. Ideal for slow seepage applications where a centrifugal pump would ordinarily lose its prime. Diaphram pumps are perfect for muddy water, sludge or any water with a high percentage of solids.

Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal Pumps are designed to handle all types of clear water applications. Ideally used for construction, municipal, agricultural and residential applications. Centrifugal pumps have a limited solid handling capability of only 10% by volume. One advantage that centrifugal pumps have over comparable sized trash pump models are their low initial cost.
Gasoline-Powered Centrifugal Pumps
Designed to handle all types of clear water applications. Economical and dependable, they are suitable for construction, municipal and agricultural applications plus residential jobs such as dewatering basements and swimming pools.
These compact centrifugal pumps are ideal for residential, agricultural and construction applications. Unique closed impeller and volute engineering allow them to deliver high pressure; three independent discharge ports add versatility.

Diaphram Pumps
Diaphram Pumps deliver dependendable performance and low maintenance. Ideal for slow seepage applications where a centrifugal pump would ordinarily lose its prime. Diaphram pumps are perfect for muddy water, sludge or any water with a high percentage of solids.
Diaphram pumps use a positive displacement design rather than centrifugal force to move water throught the casing. This means that the pump will deliver a specifiic amount of flow per stroke revolution or cycle.
The Diaphram pump provides the lowest rate of discharge and head by comparison of any contractor pump.

Submersible Pumps
Submersible Pumps are ideal for removing water from confined areas. A compact design and high performance enables these pumps to get the jobe done where other pumps fall short. Submersible pumps have the advantage of being able to work in the water source being pumped. As a result, the submersible pump is not subject to the suction lift limitations of other typical contractor pumps.
Powerful Single and Three Phase models perfect for removing water from confined areas. The compact design and high performance engineering ensures professional results for every application. Single Phase model discharge sizes range from 1.125” to 3”. Three Phase model discharge sizes range from 3” to 6”.
Heavily debris-laden water calls for rugged pumps. Multiquip submersible trash pumps can easily handle solids up to 1 inch in diameter. All pumps employ single phase electrical power, compact design, high performance impeller design, and trusted performance operations.

Trash Pumps
Trash Pumps are built to meet the requirements of the professional contractor. Trash pumps are used to dewater with high solid contents, such as leaves, sticks, and stones which easily pass through the pump. Trash pumps handle up to 25% suspended solids by volume. Trash pumps can be quickly and easily disassembled for service or inspection.
Engineered to meet the requirements of professional contractors. Rugged and dependable, they are ideal for dewatering applications with high solid content. Sticks, stones and debris easily pass through the pump, minimizing downtime due to clogging.
The MQ600H Series 6" wet priming trash pump provides the proven performance you have come to expect from Multiquip. The pump is now outfitted with a compact, powerful, and efficient HATZ 4H50 4-cylinder, turbo charged Tier IV FINAL diesel engine. At 2,000 RPM - the pump is deigned to provide 1,600 GPM and 150' of HEAD.

Dewatering pumps are commonly expected to suck water out of a trench, unfortunatley that would be an incorrect expectation. Water will always take the path of least resistance; the dewatering pump provides the water with that path. Although there are two main designs of dewatering pumps, they both serve the same purpose; to move water from one point to another.
The first design of dewatering pumps is the centrifugal design. This type uses a rotating impeller to draw water into the pump and pressurize the discharge flow. Common types of centrifugal pumps are the trash, standard and submersible pumps. The trash pump was given its name because of its ability to handle large amounts of debris. Generally the trash pump can handle spherical solids up to 1/2 the diameter of the suction inlet. The standard centrifugal pump is a good choice of common dewatering situations. The standard centrifugal pump is best used in clear water applications with limited solid handling capability. Typically the standard centrifugal pump can only handle spherical solids 1/2 the diameter of the suction inlet. The last type of centrifugal dewatering pump is the submersible pump, their compact design make them ideal for wells and jobs with limited space. True to its name, the submersible pump can be placed right into the water that it is pumping. The pump motors use a vertical shaft to turn the impeller and generate the velocity needed to create the discharge pressure.
Water flows in through the bottom and is discharged out the top of the pump casing.
The second design of dewatering pumps is the positive displacement design. These pumps deliver a fixed amount of flow per cycle through the mechanical contraction and expansion of a flexible diaphragm. The common positive displacement pump is the diaphragm. The diaphragm pump uses drive shaft to turn an offset connecting rod that is coupled to a flexible diaphragm. The connecting rod alternately rises (expands) and lowers (contracts) the diaphragm at a rate of 60 RPM. The diaphragm pump has the ability to handle air without losing its prime and it can also handle solids greater then 25% by volume. Because the diaphragm pump has no impeller or volute they do not run the risk of being damaged if they are run dry for a long period of time.
GCIron carries many Multiquip options to all the verities dewatering pumps. GCIron provides trash pump sizes 2 to 6-inch range producing flows from 200 to 1,600 GPM and heads up to 150-feet, standard centrifugal pumps sizes 2 to 4-inch range with flows from 142 to 500 gallons per minute (GPM) and heads in the range of 90 to 115 feet, and submersible pump sizes 2 to 6-inches producing flows ranging from 45 to 790 GPM and heads up to 138 feet. GCIron also carries an extensive assortment of diaphragm pumps ranging from 2 and 3-inch gasoline-powered models producing flows in the range of 50 to 85 GPM.
