Vertical column pumps for sumps, wells, reservoirs & tanks
Vertical immersion pumps are essentially vertically immersed centrifugal pumps where the motor is separated from the pump by a long shaft. For this reason, they are commonly referred to as vertical shaft pumps or vertical column pumps. Whereas with a submersible pump the whole assembly is immersed into the fluid, with a vertical cantilever pump the electric motor is located above the fluid and is connected via the vertical shaft to the pump impellers which are immersed into the fluid. Vertically immersed shaft pumps are the ideal solution when needing to pump from a sump, underground well, a reservoir or tank, which is why they are also known as sump pumps. Their ability to handle high temperature and flammable liquids make column pumps a popular solution when a traditional submersible pump cannot be used.

FAQs
Otherwise known as a vertical column pump, this is where there is an elongated shaft to separate the motor above the fluid from the pump that is immersed in the fluid.
As the pump head is within the fluid, vertically immersed pumps maintain a flooded suction. They are therefore ideal for applications where typically a self-priming pump is required, such as the emptying of tanks, reservoirs, sumps and wells.
The main difference is that whilst a submersible pump's full assembly including the motor is submerged in the fluid, with a vertical column pump, only the pump is and the motor remains dry above it.
