Anderson Pump House

What Anderson Pump House does

Anderson Pump House Ltd. is a Saskatchewan-based distributor and service provider specializing in water systems for non-municipal connections, established in 1983 by Howard Kirby and headquartered in North Battleford with a second branch in Prince Albert. The company's offering spans seven product categories — pumps and water systems, water treatment, wastewater systems, plumbing/PVF/waterworks, hydronics and HVAC, turf irrigation supplies, and wildfire suppression (including the BearsPaw ProtectaPump / Fire Ceptor portable dry-hydrant system) — combined with in-house services such as custom pump builds, system design, water analysis, and pump and water-treatment repair at both branch locations. Customers served include residential homeowners, farms, acreages, livestock operations, commercial accounts, irrigation and landscape contractors, and municipal projects across central and northern Saskatchewan.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: two physical retail branches (North Battleford and Prince Albert), an extensive dealer network of contractors that drives approximately two-thirds of company sales, and an online storefront on the sister-company Aquifer Distribution website. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (pumps, treatment equipment, HVAC, irrigation, plumbing supplies, wildfire equipment) and professional services (repairs, custom builds, system design, water analysis). Pricing is uniformly quote-based with no publicly disclosed price points or tier structure, and the firm is recognized as an authorized repair center for key product lines.

Since 2021, Anderson Pump House has operated as part of the Aquifer Group of Companies, a Saskatchewan conglomerate that also includes Aquifer Distribution, Wig's Pumps & Water Treatment, Flo-Essence Plumbing / Hearth and Decor, and Clark's Supply & Service. The acquisition enabled the company to broaden its product portfolio and grow its team while continuing to serve its traditional farm, acreage, municipal, and contractor customer base across central and northern Saskatchewan. Headcount sits in the 11–50 range, and the firm maintains memberships in approximately 11 provincial, national, and chamber-of-commerce associations to support regional visibility.
