Frequently asked
Common questions before selecting a pump
Need an answer for a specific job? Our team can help.
What information is needed to size a pump?
To size a pump, gather the material you are moving, the flow rate you need, the vertical lift, the total discharge distance, the hose or pipe size, the solids content (including particle size if you know it) and the power you have available. These details point to a realistic pump family and duty point. Site photos or a simple layout sketch help the DAE team confirm the setup. Send what you have through the quote form and a specialist will help with the rest.
Should I buy or rent equipment?
It depends on how long you need the equipment and how often you will use it. Buying suits ongoing or repeated work. Renting suits a single project or period. Tell our team the material, the duty, and the schedule, and we will compare both options with you.
What is the difference between a dredge pump and a dredger?
A dredge pump is the pumping component that moves sediment, sand and water through a hose or pipeline. A dredger is a complete system that combines a pump with a deployment platform or equipment designed to remove and transport sediment. If you already have an excavator or crane, a dredge pump may be all you need. If you want a self-contained sediment-removal solution, ask about a dredger.
Can DAE provide a complete pumping or dredging system?
Yes. DAE can help you evaluate the pump, power source, hose, floats and fittings, controls and monitoring, deployment or dredging equipment, and discharge plan as one operating system. Planning the whole system together helps make sure each component works with the others. Use the quote form or call (760) 821-8112 to discuss your system.
How do I select a pump for slurry, sand, sludge, or sediment?
Start with the material and how the equipment will be deployed. For slurry, sand and sludge in pits, sumps and tanks, submersible slurry pumps work directly in the material. For sediment in ponds, lagoons and waterways, dredgers and dredge pumps can be deployed from an excavator or a cable. For portable surface pumping and dewatering, self-priming pumps are the usual starting point. Particle size, solids concentration and abrasiveness all affect the choice, so confirm them with a DAE specialist before you choose a model.
