Brumby Pumps products

Petrol or Diesel compressors are mainly the same set-up as electric compressors, but have a petrol or diesel motor to drive the compressor. They tend to make more air volume, the smallest units generally being around 25cfm (700L/min) of air. However, the air can be choked in to slow it down and the engine/compressor will slow down to compensate, so it`s not running flat out all the time.

Electric compressors can be simple. They can be just a motor and compressor mounted on a base and joined by a belt, although a tank and regulator are ok as well. The silent compressors with a head either side of the motor, that are becoming popular may also be well suited. We recommend to have the compressor run at around 800 to 1000rpm for quiet running and long life. This can be done where necessary by changing the belt pulley on the electric motor. Use a steel pulley on the motor, as aluminium pulleys tend to wear. However, any compressor set-up will work. We recommend that you don`t run a fast revving compressor for long periods of time, but short intervals

XS1 pump - 750mm (2`6") x 90mm (3.5") designed for cleaning out of silted wells/bores, but also used where: Water depth is and remains over 1/3 of the total vertical lift. The deeper you can submerse the pump in water, the more it will deliver. Water level self-regulates by virtue of the pump`s design and operating principle. Pump will still operate with substantially reduced submersion/lift ratio, but water delivery rate may be low.

Where deep water is available (over 55m/180ft) for maximum water delivery or where air pressure is limited (below 100psi), the Brumby XS1c can extend the submersion depth and consequently water production.
