Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH (Product Code: SLE/WDF/18) is an air-powered diaphragm dewatering unit used to keep hand-dug wells free of water while they are being dug and deepened. It delivers up to 22 m³/hr, or 11 m³/hr against a 50 m total manometric head, and it is self-priming, can run dry and handles water with relatively high solid content, which suits well-digging teams and WASH contractors. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Digging a well by hand means working below the water table, where water keeps seeping into the shaft. The Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH removes that inflow so the crew can keep excavating and lining the well. Its diaphragm design copes with muddy, sandy water that can quickly wear other pump types, and because it can run dry, it is not harmed when the shaft is pumped empty between inflows.
The pump is driven by compressed air rather than an electric motor. A diesel engine on the two-wheeled trolley drives the air compressor at the surface, so no mains power connection is needed at the well. Fill the fuel tank before a shift, since it holds enough for 12 hours of continuous normal operation, check the oil-bath air filter often in dusty conditions, and keep the compressor's pressure safety valve in working order.
This pump is a sourced unit supplied by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana. Recognised by schools and colleges as a laboratory equipment supplier in India, the company also supplies pumps and fittings for water, sanitation and hygiene work and can quote the dewatering unit with the other items a well-construction programme needs. See the ScienceLab profile for more about the company.

What flow does the Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH deliver?
The Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH has a listed maximum capacity of 22 m³ per hour and delivers 11 m³ per hour against a total manometric head of 50 m. Actual output on site depends on the head and conditions at each well.
What powers the dewatering pump?
The Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH is an air-powered diaphragm pump. Its air comes from a compressor mounted on a two-wheeled trolley, working at 7 bar with a pressure safety valve and directly flange-coupled to an air-cooled, direct-injection diesel engine.
Can the pump handle muddy water or run dry?
Yes. The Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH is self-priming, can run dry and can handle water with relatively high solid content, which suits the silty inflow that is common during hand-dug well excavation.
How long can the engine run on one tank of fuel?
The engine of the Dewatering Pump, 11-22 cbm/hr@50m TMH has a fuel tank sized for 12 hours of continuous normal operation. It also has an oil-bath air filter, a soundproof muffler, a speed governor and rope or recoil starting.
