PEERLESS WATER PUMPS
Match Your Water Pump to the Demands of Your System
Moving water from an intake, maintaining distribution pressure and supplying an industrial process place different demands on a pump. Required flow and head are only part of the decision; the water source, liquid conditions and installation also influence which configuration fits.
Flowstar helps evaluate those requirements and identify suitable Peerless pumping equipment for new installations and replacements.
What Determines the Right Water Pump?
Start with what the system needs to accomplish, then narrow down the pump configuration. Three groups of information help guide that decision.
Flow & Head Requirements
What flow is needed, and what head must the pump overcome? Required flow and total system head define the pump duty point and help determine the right pump for the application.
Water Source & Liquid Conditions
Where is the water coming from, and what does it contain? The water source, temperature, solids, and chemistry affect pump selection, installation requirements, and material compatibility.
System & Installation Requirements
How will the pump operate day to day? Normal run time, system changes, and demand fluctuations influence pump sizing, efficiency, and long-term performance.
Flowstar can review these requirements alongside Peerless pump capabilities to help identify the appropriate equipment for the application.
Product Families
Peerless Pumps for Water & Process Applications
The configurations below address different water sources, operating duties and installation needs. Use them as a starting point, not a substitute for checking the equipment against your system requirements.
Vertical Turbine Pumps
Why Choose a Peerless:
Open and enclosed lineshaft arrangements provide multiple lubrication options for different operating requirements. Integral bowl vanes guide water between stages, while dual bowl bearings support the shaft—design details worth considering when evaluating hydraulic performance and component wear.
When We’d Recommend It:
For wells, raw-water intakes, boosting and cooling-water duties. Selection depends on water level, setting depth, liquid conditions and required flow and head.
AE Horizontal Split Case
Why Choose a Peerless:
The AE combines a double-suction impeller with bearing supports cast into the lower casing to help maintain alignment. Replaceable casing rings and shaft sleeves protect wearing surfaces, providing serviceable components for maintenance over the pump’s operating life.
When We’d Recommend It:
For water supply, distribution and cooling systems handling water or non-abrasive liquids. Evaluate the required duty, available suction conditions, installation space and maintenance access.
ANSI 8196 Process Pumps
Why Choose a Peerless:
The 8196 uses an open impeller with back pump-out vanes that reduce pressure at the stuffing box, helping support mechanical seal life. Material options and an ANSI B73.1 design provide choices for process-liquid compatibility and integration into standardized installations.
When We’d Recommend It:
For industrial process liquids requiring careful material and seal selection. Confirm liquid chemistry, temperature, solids, required duty and connection dimensions before selecting equipment or replacing an existing pump.
Additional Solutions
Other Configurations for Specialized Duties
Very-high-volume water movement, low-head duties and sump installations may call for a different configuration. Required flow, head and the arrangement of the water source help determine which options to evaluate.
Mixed Flow
High-volume water movement where the system requires more head than a typical axial-flow configuration while still handling substantial flow.
Axial Flow
Very-high-flow, low-head applications such as large-scale water movement, drainage and water-management systems.
VCS Vertical Sump
Vertical enclosed-shaft pumps for pits, sumps and collection systems where the pump must operate within or above the liquid source.
Featured Technology
Peerless Vertical Turbine Pumps
When water must be lifted from a well, reservoir, intake or other source below the discharge point, vertical turbine technology provides a highly configurable solution. Peerless vertical turbine pumps can also support boosting, cooling water and other high-capacity municipal and industrial applications.
