In this section you'll find Flygt's offering of submersible column pumps and our conventional column pumps. All column pumps are located inside a discharge column, which is often suspended from the top structure. Submersible column pumps are seated at the bottom of the column without any fasteners or special hardware. They are quickly installed and removed for inspection and service. The traditional designs are either built as a complete unit that is installed on site, or as a pull-out type, which allows you to pull the entire rotating assembly out of the column pipe for ease of service.
Whether you would like additional information or are interested in getting a quote, we're here to help.

Flygt column pumps
Flygt column pumps are a cost-effective choice for high discharge flows at low to medium discharge heads. The pump features a propeller with a fixed blade angle or a semi-axial impeller with a trim (diameter) that meets the specified duty conditions.
Column pumps are high specific speed pumps, and as such they depend on a well-designed pump sump to deliver on their factory performance. Flygt has the knowledge, tools and experience to help you design a good wet well and a practical and functional pump station.
Why right-sizing matters
Selecting the optimal pump size delivers significant advantages:
Smaller installation footprint – Right-sized pumps require smaller column diameters and reduced pump bay dimensions, lowering construction costs. This is especially critical for space-constrained water attractions and retrofit municipal projects.
Lower energy costs – Pumps operating at their design point achieve peak efficiency. Oversized pumps running off their performance curve waste energy and increase operating costs over the equipment’s lifetime.
Reduced capital investment – Smaller pump, motor, column, and installation requirements translate directly to lower total project cost.
