- End Suction Pumps: These are compact and have a single suction port and a single discharge port. They are typically used in smaller installations due to their lower flow rates and simpler design.
- Horizontal Split-Case Pumps: These are more robust and suitable for larger installations. They have a horizontally split casing, making maintenance easier, and can handle higher flow rates and pressures.
- Vertical Turbine Pumps: These are ideal for installations where space is limited or where water needs to be drawn from deep wells or reservoirs. They are vertically oriented and can handle high pressures and flow rates.
