Solid laden water in a sump will block an ordinary pump, and clearing a blockage costs time. A vertical non clog pump moves that water with an impeller built to pass the solids.
Standing in or over the sump, it draws the dirty water and lets the solids through instead of catching on them.
This guide explains what a vertical non clog pump does, where it fits, and how to keep it reliable.
What This Pump Does
The pump uses an impeller and passage that are open enough to let the solids in the water pass straight through.
Its upright form lets it stand in or over a sump and draw the dirty water from there.
By passing the solids, it clears solid laden water that would block an ordinary pump.
Where It Fits in the Plant
Sumps and pits that gather solid laden water and washings across the plant suit a non clog pump.
It stands at the sump and keeps it clear as the dirty water gathers through the season.
By handling the solids, it keeps these dirty drainage duties moving without frequent clearing.
Signs the Pump Needs Attention
A non clog pump in trouble shows up in flow and blockage.
- Flow falling as the impeller wears
- Solids catching despite the open design
- Wear inside from abrasive solids
- Leaks at the seal
- Vibration or noise while running
What Makes a Good Non Clog Pump?
This pump is judged by clear passage of solids and hard wearing parts.
Open Passage for Solids
The impeller and passage must pass the solids in the water. An open passage is what keeps the pump from clogging.
Hard Wearing Wetted Parts
Solids are abrasive, so the wetted parts must resist wear. Hard wearing parts keep the pump passing solids for longer.
Keeping the Pump Running
Routine attention keeps a non clog pump clearing your sump.
- Watch the flow for signs of a worn impeller
- Clear any blockage promptly if it occurs
- Check wetted parts for wear
- Keep the seal and drive maintained
Common Questions About Vertical Non Clog Pumps
It means the impeller and passage are open enough to pass the solids in the water, so the pump does not block the way an ordinary pump would.
At sumps and pits that gather solid laden water and washings across the plant, where dirty water must be cleared without blocking.
The solids that pass through are abrasive and wear the impeller over time. Hard wearing parts slow that wear and watching flow catches it early.
Watching flow, clearing any blockage, checking wetted parts for wear, and maintaining the seal and drive keep it passing solids.
Clear the Sump Without Blocking
A vertical non clog pump moves solid laden water from a sump without blocking, using an open passage and hard wearing parts. That keeps dirty drainage moving.
If a sump of solid laden water keeps blocking your pumps, a non clog pump handles it. Explore our pumps and plant equipment for the right fit.
