Choosing between the ranges
- Water from a tank to the house: a peripheral pump for one or two outlets, a single or twin-impeller pump for more, with an AQD 01 controller for automatic start and stop – or the PressurePro 700 for steady variable-speed pressure.
- Water below the pump (shallow well or sump): the self-priming AQD 10H jet pump.
- Water out of a flooded area: AQDP for clean water, AQDS for dirty water up to 8 mm particles, AQDB stainless for solids up to 40 mm.
- Water from a narrow borehole: the 3" AquaPack kits.
- Borehole water without grid power: the AquaDuty solar pump kit.

Frequently asked questions
Who makes AquaDuty pumps?
AquaDuty is a pump range from Franklin Electric, the pumping systems manufacturer.
Are AquaDuty pumps suitable for household pressure?
Yes. Peripheral, single-impeller and twin-impeller pumps with the AQD 01 controller, and the PressurePro 700 inverter booster, are all designed for household pressure boosting.
Which AquaDuty pump is self-priming?
The AQD 10H jet pump and the PressurePro 700.
Does AquaDuty make a borehole pump?
Yes. The 3" AquaPack (3 SD 1 series) comes as a kit with pump, motor and control box, and there is a 4" DC solar pump kit.
Can AquaDuty drainage pumps pump sewage?
No. They handle clean or dirty water; the stainless AQDB passes solids up to 40 mm but is not a sewage pump.
Where are the AquaDuty datasheets?
Each AquaDuty category page links to the datasheet for that range, and each guide lists the rating-plate data.
