Umbra Pompe are an Italian manufacturer of electric water pumps, specialising in well, borehole, and drainage pumps for domestic and commercial use. Founded in 1984, Umbra Pompe now supply 150 countries with a production capacity of 750 pumps a day. The Acuasub, Acuatec, and Acuabig ranges are core to well and borehole water supply in the UK, alongside the popular Baby Battery flood pumps.
Umbra Pompe SrL was founded in 1984 in Italy and has grown to supply 150 countries worldwide, producing around 750 pumps a day. The company is best known for high-quality well and borehole pumps: narrow, stacked-impeller submersibles built to draw water from depth under pressure.
Umbra Pompe achieved ISO 9001 accreditation in 1998 and has held it ever since. Their manufacturing data is quietly impressive, with a fault rate of less than 0.6% within the first year of use, as recorded in 2016. That kind of reliability is not accidental, it reflects a long-term investment in quality control that puts Umbra Pompe in the same conversation as much larger manufacturers.
The company has also invested heavily in sustainable manufacturing. The factory runs on an extensive solar photovoltaic system installed in 2012, covering the roof of the manufacturing plant.
Every Umbra Pompe water pump carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
The deeper read: what's in this range, how to pick, and when to talk to us before you buy.
Well & Borehole Pumps
This is Umbra Pompe's core strength.
The Eurojet 4" is the entry-level 4-inch borehole pump for domestic and light agricultural use. The Acuasub 4" is the higher-pressure pump for deeper wells and long pipe runs. The Acuatec 5" is the balanced 5-inch pump for general-purpose water supply. The Acuabig 5" delivers high flow through a 2" outlet for larger water demands. The Acuasystem 2AL is the submersible rainwater pump for tanks and harvesting systems.
Baby Battery Range
Umbra Pompe also manufacture the popular Baby Battery 12V and 24V pumps, a battery-powered submersible pump range that works when mains power does not. They are a versatile and efficient solution for flood response, off-grid pumping, and sites where mains supply is unavailable. See our battery powered pumps collection.

The naming across the borehole range follows a logic worth knowing:

Umbra Pompe is the brand we recommend first for borehole and well-pump applications. The reason is simple: the reliability data is real, the range is built specifically for this purpose, and the stacked-impeller design delivers genuine high-head performance for deep boreholes and long pipe runs. When a customer needs water from a borehole, for irrigation, domestic supply, agricultural use, or sprinkler systems, this is the range that works.
We hold Umbra Pompe stock in our Nottingham warehouse for next-day delivery across the UK. Every pump is covered by the 1-year manufacturer warranty and backed by our in-house aftersales team.
