In water treatment facilities, chemical drum pumps play a crucial role in transporting chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to purify and disinfect water. Consequently, this essential process ensures the delivery of clean and safe drinking water to communities. Flux Pumps offers a comprehensive range of water treatment pumps engineered to transfer a wide variety of chemicals. These include polymers, acids, alkalis and disinfectants from drums and IBC containers.
Whether you’re using sodium hypochlorite to disinfect water, or working with ferric chloride or sulphate to facilitate floc formation, our pumps provide a reliable, high performance solution. They also meet the highest quality standards and comply with stringent regulatory requirements. Whether you're dosing smaller quantities from 25 litre drums, or managing bulk fluid transfer from IBC’s, our pumps provide consistent, dependable operation.
Engineering contractors and utility providers across the UK trust FLUX pumps for the precise filtering, decanting and transfer of chemical additives and flocculants essential to water treatment processes. Whether you’re working with citric acid to remove scale and mineral deposits, or aluminium sulphate, Flux Pumps provide the reliability and precision required to streamline wastewater treatment operations. Additionally, for applications involving ferric chloride or poly aluminium chloride (PAC), our wastewater treatment pumps ensure the safe efficient transfer of these essential chemicals. Therefore, promoting effective floc formation and removal of suspended solids.
Our portable, robust pumps can be configured to meet the exact requirements of almost any drum or IBC transfer application. If you need a pump to transfer sodium hypochlorite from 25 litre containers, or a hydrochloric acid transfer pump for pH adjustment, Flux can provide the perfect solution.
Selecting the right pump for water treatment chemicals is vital. Flux drum pumps stand out due to their efficiency, reliability and ease of use. Here’s why they’re the ideal choice:
Designed to handle a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis and disinfectants. Our water treatment drum pumps ensure safe and efficient operation in demanding environments. For example, we build our pumps to resist the corrosive effects of hydrogen peroxide and sodium chlorite, ensuring long-term durability.
A choice of pump designs and motors (battery, 110 V or 230 V powered) allows Flux to offer the perfect solution for your application. Therefore, Flux ensures optimal performance in any water or wastewater treatment application. Whether transferring phosphoric acid to prevent pipe corrosion, or pumping sodium molybdate to inhibit rust, our pumps can meet your requirements.
Engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, Flux pumps minimise downtime and reduce operational cost, while delivering consistent performance over time. Furthermore, their robust construction and high-quality materials guarantee reliable operation, even with abrasive or hazardous substances.
Flux water treatment pumps are essential for the efficient and safe transfer of chemicals critical to water and wastewater treatment. Their versatility and durability make them a reliable choice for handling a range of liquids. And unique FLUX design features ensure seamless operation in demanding environments.
Industries use Flux wastewater treatment pumps to transfer:
When choosing a pump for transferring chlorinated water, it's essential to select one that ensures chemical resistance, durability and efficiency. Flux offers a range of hypochlorite and bleach transfer pumps specifically designed for this purpose, featuring corrosion-resistant materials such as polypropylene, PVDF and PTFE. These materials are highly resistant to the damaging effects of chlorine, sodium hypochlorite and sodium chlorite.
Additionally, our pumps are equipped with a choice of high-quality o-ring materials, reducing risk of leaks and maintaining optimal performance, even with aggressive chemicals. Whether you’re managing swimming pool disinfection using sodium hypochlorite, or using chlorine dioxide precursors like sodium chlorite, Flux Pumps deliver consistent, dependable results.
Yes, Flux prioritises safety in every aspect of pump and motor design. We design our pumps for use in hazardous environments. F 458 series motors are totally-enclosed designs with IP 55 ingress protection and acid resistant paint. This makes our pumps ideal for handling chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, or hydrochloric acid in sensitive water treatment applications.
Because we manufacture pumps from a range of materials, e.g. there is always an option available for safely dispensing any particular chemical. Additionally, our water treatment pumps are available with a choice of o-ring materials such as FKM or EPDM. Careful material selection therefore guarantees safe use with any acid or alkali. In addition, our pumps are light-weight for ergonomic handling, reducing strain and enhancing operator safety during chemical transfer.
While Flux seal-less pumps are optimised for use with clean chemicals, specific models can handle liquids containing small particulates, crystalline solids, or suspended solids. For example, our F 430 pumps are effective in transferring coagulant mixtures like poly aluminium chloride (PAC) and flocculants, which often contain minor solids.
These specialised pumps with mechanical seals, high clearance impellers and wear-resistant materials are capable of pumping solid particles without compromising performance. This flexibility makes Flux pumps suitable for tackling most challenges. For instance, transferring citric acid or ferric chloride in demanding water treatment processes.
The F 640 PP centrifugal immersion pump is the perfect solution. Designed for handling aggressive and abrasive wastewater, it operates continuously with a three-phase motor and is available in different lengths to suit any tank depth.
The pump is submerged in the liquid and fixed to the tank with a bolted, flange mounted motor, ensuring optimal performance at different immersion depths.
It also features a built-in inlet strainer to eliminate ingress of larger particles and can be automated with level monitoring control.
The RFM 25 and RFM 40 air-operated diaphragm pumps are the ideal solution for pumping wastewater and abrasive slurries. These compact, self-priming, positive displacement pumps with high clearance check valves are designed to handle viscous media and abrasive particles, making them perfect for pumping wastewater from tanks and containers. With no rotating parts, internal friction is minimised. Capable of delivering high discharge pressures (up to 8 Bar), they provide consistent flow rates across a range of applications and transfer distances. The flow rate can be precisely controlled by using an air inlet regulator and the integrated silencer ensures quiet operation.
