What is a wastewater pump?
A wastewater pump is specifically designed to keep running in conditions where other pumps fail. Think of water filled with sand, sludge, leaves, or even small stones. Thanks to the large solids handling capacity and the robust impeller, this pump slurps up dirty water without clogging. Unlike a centrifugal pump, which can struggle with solids, or a piston pump that requires a lot of mechanical force, the wastewater pump is built to pump relentlessly. Whether it’s sewage, construction pits, or flooded basements—this pump doesn’t care. Just switch it on and let it run.
The wastewater pumps at Van Tongeren Trading
Our wastewater pumps are rugged, reliable, and ready to go. Thanks to the mechanical vacuum system, they are self-priming, which means you won’t waste time with complex startup procedures. The large solids passage ensures that sand, sludge, and other debris won’t jam the pump. It’s all about uninterrupted pumping—no hassle. We offer both electric and diesel-powered wastewater pumps, depending on the job and the location.
Used, but just as good as new
Buying a used wastewater pump may sound like second best. Not with us. We refurbish and test every pump before it ends up on your site or yard. Broken bearings? Replaced. Worn impeller? A new one installed. We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t use ourselves. In fact, many of our wastewater pumps are more durable than the lightweight new models on the market today. And to be honest—you’ll pay a lot less, too.
For every sector dealing with dirty water
Our wastewater pumps are used wherever water isn’t clean. In construction, for dewatering and trench drainage. In agriculture, for slurry processing and irrigation. In the maritime sector, where reliability can literally be a matter of life and death. And yes, even in mining, where water isn’t just dirty, but often boiling hot or heavily contaminated. Put simply: if it’s wet and filthy, we’ve got a pump for it.
No brand preference. Just straight talk
We’re not tied to brands. That means we’re not pushing you to buy a pump from brand X just because we happen to be a dealer. We listen to your needs and find the best solution. Simple as that. And if that’s a Gorman-Rupp, great. If it’s a wastewater pump from Aeonpump or an obscure German brand that’s the perfect fit for your application, also fine. You’ll get honest advice about a professional-grade wastewater pump, without the sales fluff.
Fast delivery. Even when time is critical
We understand that downtime costs money. That’s why we keep a large stock of wastewater pumps on hand. Chances are your pump is already here, fully inspected and ready to go. Call today, have it running tomorrow, or sooner if needed. And yes, we deliver to Belgium, Germany, or the French coast. Overseas? No problem. We’ve got experience with that too.
Selling your old wastewater pump? We’ll take it
Got an old wastewater pump collecting dust in your shed? Not sure if it still works? Call us. There’s a good chance we can give it a second life. You’ll earn some money, and we’ll make sure the pump wasn’t built in vain. Buying a wastewater pump and selling one at the same time? You’ve come to the right place.
Discover all our water pumps
At Van Tongeren Trading, you’ll find more than just wastewater pumps. We have the right pump for every job. Piston pumps for deep suction and heavy contamination, centrifugal pumps for steady flow, and petrol or diesel-powered pumps for off-grid use. Prefer electric? We’ve got electric pumps too; quiet and efficient. And if you need more than just the pump, we supply hoses, dewatering filters, sediment tanks, or a basic water meter. Even powerful engines or reliable soil drilling machines, we’ve got them, or we’ll arrange it for you.
