Pump Service Industries is a locally owned and operated well established business in the southeast QLD area.
Our retail store stocks most leading brands of quality pumps and fittings.
Full workshop facilities for pump repairs are available, including an onsite/mobile repair service.
There are generally two types of water pumps. Different in design and application they each basically serve the same purpose, which is to move water from point A to point B.
The first type of pump is the centrifugal design. This type uses a rotating impeller to draw water into the pump and pressurize the discharge flow. Common types include standard above ground and submersible models.
Read the Full StoryWater filtration for household use is commonly installed when rainwater tanks are in use or the supply water quality is not quite satisfactory. Sediment material and colour in the water from downpipes may affect the taste and odour of the water and can be filtered using a simple inline filter system between rainwater tank pump and the house. Most council supply water is purified for human consumption (drinking water) but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacology, chemical and industrial applications.

Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water) but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacology, chemical and industrial applications.
Read the Full StorySprinklers that spray in a fixed pattern are generally called sprays or spray heads. Sprays are not usually designed to operate at pressures above 30 lbf/in² (200 kPa)(30psi "Pounds per square inch"), due to misting problems that may develop.
Higher pressure sprinklers that rotate around themselves are driven by a ball drive, gear drive, or impact mechanism (impact sprinklers). These can be designed to rotate in a full or partial circle.

High doses of ultra violet light energy at a wavelength of 254 nanometers controls microbes by disabling their reproductive process. This is a positive alternative to using environmentally harmful chemicals.

There are many different types of pipes and fittings available. It is important to select the correct pipe and fittings to suit the installation requirements.
The pipe/fittings and pressure ratings determine how and where items should be used. Some applications require pressure rated items, such as domestic and commercial/industrial installations.
Home irrigation and gardening solutions may only require low-density pipes and fittings installed.

Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water) but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacology, chemical and industrial applications.
In general the methods used include physical process such as filtration and sedimentation, biological processes such as slow sand filters or activated sludge, chemical process such as flocculation and chlorination and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light.
The purification process of water may reduce the concentration of particulate matter including suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi; and a range of dissolved and particulate material derived from the surfaces that water may have made contact with after falling as rain.
The standards for drinking water quality are typically set by governments or by international standards. These standards will typically set minimum and maximum concentrations of contaminants for the use that is to be made of the water.
It is not possible to tell whether water is of an appropriate quality by visual examination. Simple procedures such as boiling or the use of a household activated carbon filter are not sufficient for treating all the possible contaminants that may be present in water from an unknown source. Even natural spring water – considered safe for all practical purposes in the 1800s – must now be tested before determining what kind of treatment, if any, is needed. Chemical analysis, while expensive, is the only way to obtain the information necessary for deciding on the appropriate method of purification.
