is now available in New Zealand through MixRite.
This powerful air-operated submersible pump NZ customers have been waiting for delivers water,

If you need a pump that will not burn out, seize, corrode or fail when running dry,
the Brumby XS1 changes the game.
A smarter submersible sump for NZ conditions
The Brumby XS1 Submersible Pump operates using low-pressure compressed air.
There are no electrics down hole. No submerged motors. No risk of electrical failure in wet environments.
You can power the compressor using grid electricity, petrol, diesel, solar or wind.
The compressor can sit hundreds of metres away from the bore. This avoids the cost of running heavy power cables underground.
Air-operated, non-electric technology
This makes it ideal for:
Rural bores and wells
Remote water sites
Mining and dewatering
Stock water supply
Dam circulation and aeration
The Brumby XS1 is built to handle sand, silt and grit
Most submersible pumps fail when they encounter sand. The Brumby XS1 does not.
It was designed to lift sandy, gritty and mineralised water. It will not seize, corrode or burn out. If the bore runs dry, the pump keeps delivering air. It will not overheat. This makes it one of the most durable submersible pump NZ options available today.
Cleans and restores silted bores with ease
The XS1 is the most popular and versatile Brumby model. It measures 750mm long and 90mm in diameter, and fits bore casings with an internal diameter of at least 100mm.
With a simple modification, the pump can clean out silted bores and restore original depth. This is a genuine DIY solution for bore rehabilitation.

Frequently asked questions about the Brumby XS1 submersible pump
How deep should I install the Brumby XS1?
Install as deep as possible while leaving clearance above silt. The deeper it sits, the higher the delivery rate.
Will it pump a bore dry?
No. The pump self-regulates and finds equilibrium. If the flow slows, allow the bore to refill.
What compressor size do I need?
Most applications use a 5 to 15 cfm compressor. Pressure depends on lift and submersion depth.
What happens if the water source runs dry?
Nothing. It simply delivers air. It will not burn out.
Can it handle sand?
Yes. The XS1 is designed to pump sandy and gritty water without damage
