How To Choose the Right Pump, Tank & Filtration Equipment
Fluid Type & Volume To Manage
- Identify what you’re moving or storing, such as clean water, slurry or chemicals, along with total volume
- Fluid characteristics determine the right pump materials, seals, tank and filtration equipment to avoid failures and leaks
- Choose containment berms or tanks when storing liquid waste and rent roll-off boxes when storing solid waste
Flow Rate, Pressure & Storage Capacity
- Determine how fast you need to move the fluid and the pressure created by elevation change and hose runs to choose the right pump rental
- If the goal is storage, confirm the required capacity and how quickly the fluid containment system must fill or draw down
- Choose tanks for large projects requiring storage of up to 1 million gallons and rent boxes for smaller projects requiring up to 5,000 gallons
Site Conditions & Containment Requirements
- Review site conditions like access, slopes and proximity to drains or sensitive areas so you can plan safe placement of your tank rental
- If spills are a risk, choose pump rentals and accessories that support secondary containment and easy cleanup
- Measure access points, turning space and placement space to ensure smooth delivery, setup and operation
