A practical guide to choosing and using pumps for real-world work.

This handbook explains pump types, how they work, and what matters when selecting the right pump for a task. It helps non-technical readers understand the options and avoid common pitfalls.

The book organizes pump information by function, from lift and force pumps to centrifugal and hydraulic devices. It emphasizes simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance, with notes on design choices, operating conditions, and how to match a pump to its duty. The aim is practical understanding rather than theoretical theory, so you can make sensible choices and keep equipment running smoothly.

Learn the five broad pump classes and the key differences between them.
See what factors matter when selecting a pump for a given duty and how to evaluate a pump’s performance.
Get guidance on operating conditions, wear, and routine adjustments to extend life and efficiency.
Understand how construction details affect reliability, maintenance, and total cost of ownership.

Ideal for readers seeking a clear, hands-on introduction to pump selection and basic management.
