Originally designed by R A Lister of Dursley, the Domestic Pump is a long established “positive displacement” water pumping machine. It was originally designed many years ago specifically to provide fresh water from wells or nearby streams for domestic use. Over the years, it has been used to boost (when placed in tandem) water that needs to be moved upwards over long distances for agriculture, golf courses, or ornamental gardens.
A full range of spare parts can be supplied for the Domestic Water Pump. Maintenance is very simple, and the replacement of any wearing parts is at low cost.
Although the Lister Pump was originally designed for fresh domestic water applications, in recent years it has also been used extensively for other functions such as:
All machines are manufactured in the UK from quality parts by experianced fitters.

Performance - Pump speed is 500rpm
Approximate Shipping Specification:
The maximum suction lift including pipe friction is 25ft (7.6m) at sea level. This figure is reduced by 1ft (0.3m) for every 100ft (305m) increase in altitude.
Minimum pipe bore is ľ" BSP, or 22mm. If the length exceeds 150ft (45m) it may advisable to increase the size. The pipe should be as straight as possible, use long sweep bends for changes in direction. The delivery outlet must be arranged for open discharge.
The water level can be maintained by the action of a float switch, which switches the pump motor on if the tank is emptied and off when the tank is full. See the diagrams below for an illustration of how this can be setup.
