Vertical Turbine Pumps

Thanks to their efficiency, reliability, and space-saving design, vertical pumps are widely used across industries. Common applications include:

• Water and wastewater treatment: For raw water intake, filtration, sludge handling, and municipal water supply
• Industrial processes: To manage cooling water circulation, boiler feed, and chemical transfer 
• Power generation facilities: For cooling tower circulation and condensate extraction
• Oil and gas: Used for offshore and onshore water supply, refinery operations, and process water handling
• Mining: For dewatering and slurry pumping, as well as sump systems

Yes. Canex Technologies offers comprehensive vertical pump maintenance support to help extend the lifespan and performance of your equipment. We also stock a wide range of genuine OEM parts to keep your turbine pump operating efficiently. Learn more about our pump parts and services.

The lifespan of a vertical pump depends on numerous factors, including pump quality, operating conditions, maintenance practices, and the type of fluid being handled. With proper care and genuine OEM parts, a well-maintained vertical turbine pump can often operate reliably for 10 to 20 years.

A submersible pump is ideal for deep well or sump applications where the pump must operate fully submerged. It is an excellent choice when space is limited, noise needs to be minimized, or the motor must be protected from flooding. Submersible pumps are commonly used in municipal water, wastewater, and drainage systems.

A vertical turbine pump is best suited for applications that require high efficiency, configurable discharge heads, and long service life. With the motor located above the liquid, maintenance access is often easier than fully submerged alternatives. These pumps are widely used in municipal water, irrigation, industrial processes, and situations where flexible impeller and lineshaft configurations, along with durable materials, are essential.

Proper installation is critical to the performance and lifespan of a vertical hydraulic pump. The discharge head must be aligned carefully to ensure smooth operation and minimize vibration. In deep well applications, the pump column should match the well’s straightness and depth to avoid shaft or bearing issues.

Matching the pump’s materials to the pumped fluid is also essential. Cast iron and bronze are common for standard water service, while stainless steel or specialty alloys may be required for corrosive or abrasive conditions. Choosing between an enclosed lineshaft (oil- or water-lubricated) and an open (product-lubricated) configuration will depend on the specific application, whether in municipal, industrial, or irrigation service.
