Construction Water Transfer Pumps
Pacer construction water transfer pumps dewater job sites, oil pads, and ponded areas. Hand-built in Lancaster, PA.
What is a construction water transfer pump?
A construction water transfer pump removes standing water from job sites and delivers water where crews need it. Pacer construction water transfer pumps handle site dewatering, ponded area evacuation, oil and gas site dewatering, and water delivery. Both aluminum and plastic models run on site. Trust the Leader, Trust Pacer.
Storms shut down job sites. Equipment sits unusable and every day of standing water costs the schedule. General contractors and excavation companies reach for Pacer pumps to clear the site and keep crews working. Alfred S. Marlow originated the self-priming thermoplastic centrifugal transfer pump in 1974, and crews have relied on it ever since.

How are Pacer pumps built?
Pacer builds every pump in four steps — molding, hand assembly, seal and pressure testing, and on-site flow testing. Craftsmen with decades of experience hand-assemble every pump in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Every Pacer pump arrives ready to work right out of the box.
Molding
First, Polymar Injection Molding molds every plastic pump part. Polymar sits five miles from our plant and holds ISO 9001 certification.
Hand Assembly
Next, skilled craftsmen hand-assemble every pump. Shop Lead Joseph Rhoads, 24 years at Pacer, checks every part against Pacer standards.
Testing
Then, our team checks every seal hydrostatically and stress-tests plastic housings to three times rated running pressure.
Flow Testing
Finally, the assembly team flow-tests pumps on site. Therefore, every pump ships ready for field use.
What are construction water transfer pumps used for?
Construction water transfer pumps handle site dewatering after flooding storms, water delivery to active job sites, oil and gas site dewatering, and evacuation of ponded areas that leave equipment unusable. Pacer construction water transfer pumps cover all four jobs on one platform.

Questions
Frequently asked
How fast can Pacer ship a construction water transfer pump?
Pacer offers both stock and built-to-order pumps. Pumps arrive ready to work, so crews put them on the site the day they land.
Should I use an aluminum or plastic pump on a job site?
Both work on construction sites. Plastic resists corrosion from wastewater, mild acids, and abrasive site water. Aluminum suits crews who want a metal housing. Pacer builds both, so contractors match the pump to conditions.
What happens if a construction pump runs dry?
Pacer seals sit internally submerged and stay cool after the initial prime, giving a forgiving run-dry capability when a ponded area empties faster than expected. Run-dry tolerance is a safeguard, not a substitute for correct priming.
