Short Shaft Pumps
Pricing from: $5k - $12k
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.
​
NOTE: Shore mounted pumps more common these days due to above safety reasons.
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.
