Products and services
- Rotary Wellpoint Pumps Positive displacement rotary wellpoint pumps engineered for construction wellpoint and sock dewatering, with high air handling (up to 400 cfm), large water volume, high vacuum capability, and constant suction; available in 8-inch and 12-inch sizes.
- Piston Wellpoint Dewatering Pumps Highly efficient self-priming double-acting piston pumps that produce a pulsating vacuum to prevent clogging, with efficiency ratings above 90% and low fuel consumption; available in skid-mounted or trailer-mounted configurations.
- JSC Enviroprime System® Series Pumps Compressor-assisted dry-priming centrifugal pumps featuring the Enviroprime System® that prevents blow-by of sewage, designed for sewer bypass, emergency response, and high-head/high-volume applications with automatic self-priming and solids handling up to 3 inches.
- JSV Series Pumps Vacuum-assisted centrifugal pumps with exclusive OVT oil-less vacuum technology providing 97 cfm for rapid priming, integrating the Enviroprime System® to eliminate product blow-by; designed for durable, efficient operation on construction sites.
- Heavy-Duty Trash Pumps Wet-priming trash pumps for tough jobs handling large solids or abrasive material, featuring heavy-duty construction with dynamically balanced non-clogging semi-open impellers; handles solids up to 3 inches with simple low-cost maintenance for flood control, dewatering, and sewage bypass.
- Hydraulic Power Units Hydraulic power units designed to eliminate suction lift limitations in excavations or discharges over 25 feet deep, available with variable speed controls and auto-start, with low-oil/high-temperature shutdown and a third line for seal blow-out protection.
- Hydraulic Submersible Pump Heads Hydraulically driven submersible pumps for high heads and high lifts, handling up to 4.25-inch solids and heads up to 245 feet; power unit remains high and dry while the pump head is submerged, with variable speed and flow controls.
- Diaphragm Pumps Self-priming diaphragm pumps capable of quick dry self-priming down to 20 feet, with the ability to run dry indefinitely since no rotating parts contact liquids; highly resistant to abrasion and able to handle liquids with sand, solids, and stringy fibrous materials, with an optional EOV version offering up to 100 hours of run time.
- Silent Knight® Sound-Attenuated Pumps The first full-sound attenuated portable diesel-driven pump in the United States; sound-attenuated canopy reduces noise to or below 69 dBA and includes lockable doors, a physical barrier for worker safety, a protective enclosure, and a built-in containment system to eliminate spills.
- Pump Accessories and Wellpoint Equipment Supporting accessories including wellpoints, fittings, hoses, and specialized equipment for dewatering applications, available through downloadable product brochures and the Thompson Pump dealer/distributor network.
- Pumpology Customer Training Thompson Pump's Pumpology school provides annual customer training tailored to specific pump applications, including engineering and water/wastewater applications, for distributors and end users.
