How to choose the right submersible pump - no mistake, no waste 🛠️

Choosing the right pump for your application is more important than it sounds.
At JOVAL, we've been helping distributors, installers and farmers for over 30 years. avoid early failures, oversizing and unnecessary costs.

Here are the essentials for making the right choice.


 

🔹 1. What kind of water are you going to pump?

First of all, identify the origin and state of water:

  • Clean water
    Ideal for borehole pumps or pressure groups.

  • Water with solids, sludge or sand
    It requires pumps with a free passage and a robust design.

  • Water with fibres or debris
    Requires clog-resistant pumps.

🔍 Example JOVAL:
Our QXN is suitable for draining clean water.
The JRD can withstand solids and is ideal for building sites, basements or waste water.

 


 

🔹 2. Pumping height and distance

A total headroom (TDH) determines the power and model of the pump:

  • How many metres does the water have to rise?

  • How far does it travel to the discharge point?

  • Are there any bends, knees or friction losses in the pipework?

⚠️ An undersized pump doesn't pump anything.
An oversized one uses more energy and wears out faster.

 


 

🔹 3. Flow required

How many litres per minute need?

  • For irrigation, supply or industrial use?

  • Are you going to use a tank, taps or an automatic system?

💡 Each JOVAL pump has its own performance curve.
We can help you choose based on minimum pressure and actual flow rate.

 


 

🔹 4. Automation and security

  • You need switch on and off automatically?

  • Do you want to use a electric buoy or level sensor?

  • You need protection against dry running?

💡 We can supply pumps with a float included or integrate solutions with customised switchboards.

 


 

🔹 5. Available energy

  • It has single-phase or three-phase?

  • The frame supports the pump amperage?

⚡ JOVAL pumps are available in various powers and configurations - we adapt them to your electrical reality.


 

✔️ Conclusion: choosing well is half the battle

A poorly chosen bomb costs more than it looks:
it uses more light, works poorly and wears out quickly.

At JOVAL, we help you choose the right solution for each application every day:
from agricultural boreholes to drainage stations, pressure groups and waste water.
