What the 3 inch means
The size is the inlet and outlet diameter. A 3 inch pump moves large volumes, commonly 800 to 1,500 litres per minute, at low to medium head. It suits irrigation, tanker filling, construction sites and building water transfer.
Engine or electric drive
Electric pumps are quiet and cheap to run but need power on site, while petrol and diesel engines are portable and work in fields. Engines need fuel, oil and regular maintenance.
Suction pipe and fittings
Use a suction hose of the full 3 inch size, as short and straight as possible, with a foot valve and strainer. Use clamps and thread tape on every joint, since air leaks stop priming.
Head and priming
These pumps lift 20 to 35 metres of head at best and draw from up to about 6 metres below. Prime the casing with water. For deeper sources, use a submersible.
Safety and use
Keep guards on couplings and engines, ventilate engine exhaust and ground electric pumps. Fixed plumbing and electrical connections should be done by licensed tradespeople.
Buying checks
Check the flow and head curve, casing material, seal type, engine brand and warranty. Cast iron casings last longer than plastic. Ask about spare seals and impellers.
What to check before buying
- Flow and head. Curve provided
- Drive. Electric or engine
- Casing and seal. Cast iron, good seal
- Warranty. Written
When 3 inch is too much
For household tanks, a 1 inch pump is enough. A 3 inch pump suits large flows only.
Before you decide
Decide the flow you need, choose electric or engine drive and keep suction short. A 3 inch pump is a workhorse for large volumes.
