Piston Pump
Reliable Piston Pumps for Well Pointing & Dewatering
At Blue Tank and Pump Rental, we specialize in providing high-performance piston pumps for well pointing and dewatering applications. Managing groundwater efficiently is critical for construction, utility, and excavation projects, and our Thompson Pump-manufactured piston pumps deliver the reliability and power needed to keep your job site dry.
What is a Piston Pump?
A piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves water and other fluids using a reciprocating piston mechanism. These pumps generate high vacuum levels, making them ideal for well pointing, deep well dewatering, and handling high-suction lift conditions. Because they produce strong, steady suction, piston pumps are widely used in environments where traditional centrifugal pumps may struggle to maintain consistent performance.
Piston Pumps for Well Pointing Applications
Well pointing is a crucial groundwater control technique used in excavation and construction. It involves installing a series of small-diameter wells to draw water out of the ground, keeping work areas dry and stable. Thompson Pump piston pumps, available through Blue Tank and Pump Rental, are the preferred choice for well pointing because they offer:
- High vacuum capabilities for maximum groundwater extraction.
- Efficient operation that maintains strong suction over long durations.
- Durability to handle sandy, silty, and debris-laden water.
- Low maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Industries That Benefit from Well Pointing with Piston Pumps
- Construction – Keeps excavation sites dry for foundation work and trenching.
- Municipal & Utility Work – Prevents water intrusion during pipeline and sewer installations.
- Mining & Quarries – Removes excess groundwater to ensure safe working conditions.
- Environmental & Flood Control – Mitigates water accumulation in low-lying areas.
