Thompson Pump engineers have designed one of the industry’s most versatile pumps by combining the Thompson vacuum-assisted priming system with wellpoint pump technology to create the VW Vacuum Wellpoint pumps. The VW pumps pack a powerful one-two punch with their solids handling capability for trash and sewage applications, and their high air handling capability for wellpoint and sock applications. This makes the Thompson Vacuum Wellpoint Pump a valuable, multi-purpose piece of equipment.

Applications:

• Groundwater and deep excavation dewatering
• Sock dewatering
• Wellpoint systems
• Flood drainage
• Bypassing of flowing water and sewage
• Pumping polluted, hot or corrosive water
• Surface irrigation (flood type)
• Mining run-off ponds
• Water supply and transfer
• Pumping fluids with solids and sand
