Salt Water Pumps

Salt Water Pumps: Corrosion-Resistant Design & Key Benefits

Salt water pumps are engineered to withstand salt water's aggressive and corrosive nature. Unlike standard pumps, saltwater pumps are constructed with hardwearing materials such as titanium or stainless steel, and feature ultra-durable seals, such as carbon ceramic mechanical seals, making them ideal for handling corrosive salt water.

Why Standard Pumps Fail in Salt Water

Even though some standard pumps use stainless steel, the internal components often can’t endure salt water’s corrosive properties. Standard pumps may have plastic impellers that erode quickly with salt and sand, causing significant wear. In contrast, our saltwater pumps are built for durability across multiple uses.

Salt Water Pump Applications

1. Submersible Salt Water Pumps: Ideal for coastal flood defence projects, these submersible pumps run on 230v mains or 400v three-phase power, popular within the marine industry.  Speroni SA(M) Sea-Water Pump and Tsurumi 80SFQ Chemical & Saltwater Pump are both popular salt resistant submersible pumps.
2. Engine Driven Salt Water Pumps: Perfect for isolated areas without a power supply, the Poly series offers robust performance in harsh environments, handling non-abrasive but aggressive liquids without risking corrosion. Available in petrol or diesel, these pumps feature large solids handling capacity and a corrosion-resistant design.

Benefits of Engine Driven Salt Water Pumps:

• Operation in power-free zones
• Large solids handling
• Available with petrol or diesel engines
• Corrosion-resistant with a 1-year warranty

Engine-driven salt water pumps are not limited to marine applications; their resilient construction also makes them useful for agriculture, handling farm or plant environments with ease.

3. Surface Pumps for Salt Water

For surface salt water needs, models like the Speroni Surface Jet KS1100 and Plastica AG and AV Argonaut Series are top choices, offering reliable performance in challenging salt water applications.

Selecting Your Salt Water Pump

When choosing a salt water pump, consider:

• Electric vs. engine-driven options
• Fuel preference for engine-driven pumps (petrol or diesel)
• Manual or automatic operation for electric models
