What types of Hidro pumps are available?

What types of Hidro pumps are available?The Hidro Pump range is designed to tackle a variety of industrial challenges. Our lineup includes: Dewatering Pumps: Reliable solutions for general water removal in construction and mining. Slurry Pumps (Bronco Series): Heavy-duty pumps built to handle abrasive materials and high-density fluids. High Head Pressure Pumps: Specialised pumps like the Gallardo HH and Diablo HH for applications requiring fluid movement over long distances or to significant heights.

What industries are Hidro pumps suitable for?

Hidro pumps are engineered for demanding environments. They are widely used in mining and mineral processing, construction, municipal water management, dredging, and industrial wastewater handling. Their robust design ensures they can withstand harsh conditions across these sectors.

Are Hidro pumps capable of operating in harsh conditions?

Yes. Hidro pumps are constructed with durable materials and advanced engineering specifically to handle tough industrial settings, including abrasive slurries and high-pressure environments. All Hidro pumps have achieved European CE certification, underscoring our commitment to quality and durability.

Can submersible pumps run dry?

No, running a submersible pump dry can cause significant damage to the mechanical seal and the motor. To prevent this, we recommend installing float switches arranged so the fluid level never falls below the minimum required for operation. Always consult the operating instructions or datasheet before the initial start-up.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for a Hidro pump?

To maximise the lifespan of your pump (which can exceed 8–10 years with proper care), we recommend a routine check-up every three months. A complete overhaul is advised every one to two years, depending on usage intensity and operating conditions.

Does Dowdens offer technical support for installation?
