Frustrated with Submersible Well/Bore/De-watering pumps seizing, burning out, corroding away or blocking up?
Announcing the Revolutionary Patented Air Operated FERI Submersible Well/Bore/Sump Pump. It's simple, cost effective, versatile, tough and light.
The FERI Pump cannot seize, corrode or burn out.
It will not suffer damage from pumping grit or sand.
If your well runs dry - no problem.
The Feri can often be installed (or removed) in UNDER ONE HOUR, by one person with no special tools.
Sound too good to be true? The fact is: it's not.
The FERI pump was designed specifically to overcome the problems of corrosion, seizing when running dry or pumping sand or grit as well as making installation cheap and easy.
The Feri pump is constructed entirely of tough Non-metallic, non-corroding materials and only has 2 "moving" parts.
The Feri is designed to utilise the forces of nature to assist with the lift. There are no troublesome electrics down the hole. No level instruments are required.
This unique submersible pump has been in production since 1987 and we ship it all over the world.
| “It’s
Bulletproof” said Andrew Mills and grins
delightedly. “I save at
least $200 per year on maintenance and downtime”.
Over 10 years that adds up to a useful amount of money saved. Andrew
cultivates vineyards at Ego Creek in the Chapman Valley near Geraldton,
Western Australia. When his electric jet pump broke down in 1995, he
replaced it with a FERI submersible well/bore pump and a small
compressor. His bore/well is 300 meters from the nearest electrical
power outlet. The water level is 25 meters down the hole. He lifts the
water another 15 meters to a tank 600meters from the bore/well at a
rate of 900 litres/hour.

The first of the Feri submersible well/bore pumps are still pumping today.
Wear is negligible, as the only "moving" parts are 2 floating ball non-return valves (Only 1 valve in our deep water models T1 and T4). It will pump clean water to gritty fluid.
The Feri submersible pump can run dry without damage, pump minerals, shale and grit.
There is no need for power at the pump site. It is air operated. Low pressure compressed air can be supplied from miles away, saving on running expensive power cables.
The FERI submersible pump is easy to install and can be re-located to different sites easily by just pulling it out by hand and moving it to a different location.
No support cables are required.
It just hangs on the end of the delivery pipe - usually poly pipe, which is cheap and available in great rolled up lengths.
Although the pump is nearly 2.3 meters long, it only weighs less than 5 kg.
“We installed our Feri pump this week and it works like
a charm. Some of my friends were a bit dubious about the pump but they are
convinced now. We ran the pump for almost 2 hours non-stop (clearing out the
murky water) With nearly 300 feet of lift and 550 feet of water line, it took
just under half an hour to fill up our temporary 1000 liter tank. I'm so glad
I found out about your pump (web search). I figure we saved over $3,500.00
using your pump versus a conventional electric well pump.” Steve

The FERI Submersible Pump may be the Pump for You:
- Because it can pump from deep wells/bores to great heights over great distances and be a long way from the power source.
So, whether your well/bore is 160m deep or 5m shallow or if you are pumping to a tank a mile or more away, the Feri submersible pump will do the job - day in and day out.
- Because it runs off low pressure compressed air from an air line (usually regular poly pipe) which can be run for miles to the location of the pump.
- Because it can pump up to 10,000L per hour (depending on depth, height, distance and submersion)
- Because it can run off most regular compressors (2 – 30cfm and 20 – 160psi pressure, depending on head)
- Because it can even run off a compressor powered by a wind mill or a solar panel
- Because as it is a light pump (less than 5 kg) hanging on the end of poly piping, it can be easily removed from a well/bore and re-located to another one in a different location.
- Because there are no lengths of piping and rods to disassemble, no power cords to mess with, no bits and pieces to drop down the hole.
Should you ever wish to remove the pump, just turn on the compressor and easily pull the whole thing out. Easy as that.

Ron Boucher, CEO of the Geraldton Greenough Regional Council, which
operates a Regional Landfill Facility for the Midwest Region near
Geraldton, WA, was under budgetary pressure in 1998 when their electric
submersible pumps, purchased at $3500 a piece, had to be replaced after
only eighteen months in service, due to leachate corrosion. Their
design consultant recommended installing a Feri system. Ron accepted
the recommendation and hasn’t looked back. They employ a
50psi compressor located 150m from the landfill pit and pump leachate
15 m to an evaporation pond 200m distant. Because the Feri pump can run
dry without risk of damage, there is no need for level
sensors and other instrumentation. In 2001 Ron had another
Feri pump installed to pump out a newly constructed waste cell. It runs
off the same pneumatic system as the first, saving on purchasing a
second compressor. “The
Feri Pump is able to keep up with leachate demands and this system has
saved the Council money in pump replacement programs, maintenance and
the need for electricians,” says Ron. “There has been no need to remove
or service the pneumatic pumps,” he adds.
“ We will continue to utilise the Feri submersible Pumps as a
cost effective and efficient way of removing leachate from the
Landfills. With my personal experience and satisfaction, I have no
hesitation in recommending this product,” he
concludes. |
What about.....
Worried about ordering from a country outside of your own and the time it takes to receive goods?
- We freight pumps all over the world on a regular basis and it generally takes 7 – 10 days to most locations.
Concerned that once you’ve handed over your money, we forget about you?
- Apart from wanting to genuinely help our customers and also keep growing our business – that includes word-of-mouth - we take great care to ensure that orders are filled promptly and will follow up any questions or problems you may have usually within 24 hours.
What about spare parts or servicing?
- The Feri is a sealed unit and should never need repairs or servicing. The components that may eventually give trouble (compressor, timer/controller {if required}) are above ground and easy to get at.
Operation of the FERI
The FERI submersible pump is ideal for BORES/WELLS, DAMS & SUMPS, rural or urban when …
· Your bore/well water depth is at least about 1m (3ft)
· You want up to 10,000 litres (around 2600 US Gal/hour)
· You want vertical lift of up to 160m - or even more
· Your water supply is a long way from your power supply
· Running electric cables is expensive
· You are tired of maintenance and repair bills
Air is supplied to the pump chamber by a compressor. The air displaces the water in the chamber by lifting it up and to the discharge piping. In operation the delivery pipe is only partly full of water. That’s why FERI PUMPS don’t require high air pressures to operate.
The air doesn’t have to lift and push a full column of water. Therefore there is much less energy required than with other pumps.
The pump discharges water and air. That makes for a much lighter mixture than a full column of water, therefore less pressure to move it.
That makes FERI SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS different from other pumping systems.
Apart from being trouble free in operation, FERI SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS are cost effective to run. Combine this with their durability, and once you put a FERI PUMP down the hole, you should never need to see it again. There’s nothing down there to wear out or corrode.
Remember the time, effort, money and frustration you’ve spent pulling up other pumps because they ran dry, had abrasives pass through them, corroded or just plain wore out. No more!
The FERI will just keep on pumping.
NOTE: If Submersion of the pump is less than one third the total lift height, a T3 pump with a Timer/Controller
is required.
The T/C periodically interrupt the airflow to the pump, allowing it to re-fill between cycles.
If the water depth is well OVER 1/3 of total lift height, a T1 or T4 pump will be great.
If you are in doubt or if the water level may fall significantly during pumping, a T3 pump can be used on it's own and a T/C added later if neccessary.
It Simply Works Like This:
More Air (volume) to the pump - More Fluid/Water Out - (To a point)
Deeper Submersion in Fluid/Water - More Fluid/Water Out
FERI Submersible well/bore PUMPS have been tested by the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department of the University of Western Australia over a two year period.
To quote Dr K Y Cheng:
"The simplicity of operation, the relative easy access of power source and the robustness of the pump make it a worthwhile consideration in a range of applications."
THE FERI WILL SAVE:
- TIME - because there is no maintenance and time is MONEY
- MONEY - because of the low cost and versatility – it is easily moved from one location to another, so only one pump may be required instead of one in each location.
It just keeps on going. Just give it a hole full of water, give it air, and away it goes. If it should run out of water – no big deal. It won’t be damaged.
- HEADACHES - because there is no troublesome disassembly of equipment to fix a broken down pump .
The FERI submersible well/bore pump is simple and reliable, yet easy to remove.
Because you want:
- Reliability
- Corrosion Resistance
- Cost effectiveness
- Wear resistance
- Portability
- Durability
- the FERI is the pump to get
