Selecting A Submersible Slurry and Sand Pump
Submersible slurry pumps and submersible sand pumps offer the highest in quality and strength over other submersible pumps. They are capable of moving large amounts of sand and slurry with ease and without clogging. DAE Pumps submersible sand and slurry pumps withstand the abrasive material that passes through them on a consistent basis and provide the power to move the material. The following is to help understand pump specifications for selecting the right submersible slurry pump or sand pump for you. A DAE Pumps representative is also available.
Size
The size of the submersible pump is important when connecting the discharge end. The hose or pipe that connects to the pump should match the discharge or the pump. If fitting an adjustment to the end of the submersible slurry pump, the fitting can only work when goes downward in size, not upward. Typically, the pump size limits the gallons per minute a submersible slurry pump is capable of pumping. The larger the pump size, the more allowable volume, and solids sizes.
Power
The power of the electrical submersible slurry pump is determined by the motor size in horsepower. The more horsepower, the more material it can move (volume), and the higher the head of which it can pump. When moving sand and slurry, it is important to take horsepower into consideration. As sand and slurries can be heavy, this causes friction that slows down the movement of the material. If there is too much friction and the submersible sand pump is not powerful enough to push the sand or slurry, the material will start to settle in the hose or piping, and not deliver to the final destination.
Volume
When selecting a submersible slurry or sand pump be sure to understand the volume of the material you are looking to move. Submersible pump specifications are typically based on pumping water. When pumping sand, slurry, and other solids, DAE Pumps industrial slurry pumps move between 15% to 30% solids. Therefore, the remaining 70% to 85% is water. While a 100 GPM sand pump can process about 15% material, thus 15 GPM of sand, a 100 GPM slurry pump can process about 30% material, thus 30 GPM of slurry. This all varies depending on how aggressive the operator is with the pump. Ensuring the correct power of a sand pump is essential for delivering sand the distance needed because sand is heavy and settles. Not enough power will leave sand in the hose and backup. Knowing the liquid viscosity is important for ensuring proper pumping. Ask DAE Pumps for assistance with a viscosity test to ensure accurate pump selection.
In addition to the amount of material you pump, you want to make sure there is a consistent inflow of water or fluid replacing liquid and material that is being pumped out for the proper operation. Lack of fluid is never good for submersible pumps.
Here are a couple of equations and examples to help figure out how much material a submersible slurry pump can move and approximately how long it will take to move your material.
Material to Cubic Yards
Equation:
Length (feet) x Width (feet) x Depth (feet) / 27 = Cubic Yards
Example:
50 x 50 x 2 / 27 = 185 Cubic Yards
Cubic Yards to Gallon
1 Cubic Yard = 201.974 Gallons)
Number of Cubic Yards x 201.974 = Gallons of Material
185 x 201.974 = 37,365 Gallons of Material
Pumps Capability of Moving Solids Per Minute
Equation:
Pump GPM x .15 = Pump Amount of Solids Per Minute
Example:
2112 x .15 = 316.8
Total Minutes to Pump Material
Equation:
Gallons of Material / Pump Amount of Solids Per Minute = Total Minutes
37,365 / 316 = 118.25
Hours to Pump Material
Equation:
Total Minutes / 60 = Total Hours
118.25 / 60 = 2 Hours
Head
The head is the height at which the pump can raise water. The weight of a gallon of water at room temperature is 8.33 lbs. If all that is being pumped is room temperature water, the height a submersible slurry pump could pump that water is the max head stated on the pump specifications. However, submersible slurry pumps and submersible sand pumps are pumping more than just room-temperature water. They are pumping sand, silt, rocks, mud, debris, and other types of slurries. These slurries have a different weight that is more than the weight of water. Thus, the head of a pump that is pumping slurries and sand is going to be less than the stated head on a pump.
Solids Size
The size of solids is that can pass through a submersible slurry pump are typically determined by the allowable area between the pump’s impeller and the volute. Submersible pumps are designed with more or less separation for the type of material they are intended to handle. Those with more separation are submersible slurry pumps because they can process larger materials. The submersible pump with less separation is a drainage pump that does not move many solids.

Maintenance and Repair
Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of slurry pumps, including electric slurry pumps and submersible slurry pumps. In demanding applications such as mining, dredging, and construction, pumps are often exposed to high viscosity slurries, abrasive materials, and challenging conditions that can accelerate wear and increase the risk of clogging. To address these challenges, modern slurry pumps are constructed with wear resistant materials and specially designed impellers and wear parts, significantly reducing the frequency of repairs and minimizing downtime.
One of the standout features of today’s electric slurry pumps is their easy maintenance. Many models are engineered for quick and straightforward replacement of wear parts and seals, allowing operators to perform routine maintenance with minimal disruption to operation. This not only helps to keep operating costs and energy consumption in check, but also ensures that the pump continues to deliver efficient and reliable performance, even when handling tough materials like fly ash or sediment.
Regular inspection and verification of key pump components—such as the impeller, seals, and pressure systems—are crucial for identifying signs of wear before they develop into major issues. By adjusting the impeller and replacing worn parts as needed, operators can optimize the pump’s efficiency and extend its service life. This proactive approach to maintenance is especially important in industries where downtime can be costly and where the security and reliability of pumping systems are paramount.
In addition to in-house maintenance, many manufacturers offer specialized repair services, spare parts, and expert technical support to help operators maintain the quality and performance of their slurry pumps. When selecting a pump, it’s important to consider not only its suitability for your specific application, but also the maintenance requirements and support services available. By investing in high-quality, wear resistant pumps and adhering to a regular maintenance schedule, operators can reduce operating costs, minimize downtime, and ensure safe, efficient operation across a wide range of industries.
Ultimately, prioritizing maintenance and repair is key to maximizing the productivity and reliability of your slurry pumping systems. Regular verification and prompt response to any issues help maintain the security and efficiency of your operation, allowing you to meet the demands of even the most challenging pumping applications.
