Xylem is a partner who cares

More than 70 years ago, Xylem's Flygt brand invented the first submersible dewatering pump. Today, Xylem's drainage pumps are perfectly designed for this type of operation - capable of handling high volumes of water and withstanding the toughest operating conditions.
Xylem actively tracks weather patterns and anticipates shipping people and equipment to at-risk flood areas. With a broad portfolio, we also identify the right pump for the job. From high-pressure pumps that move water a long way from the danger zone to smaller portable pumps to help empty a basement, Xylem has a diverse portfolio to fight rising flood waters.
Knowing that floods are sometimes a once in a lifetime event, Xylem offers contingency planning services and affordable rental programs.
Xylem has been the leading choice for pumps and dewatering equipment to own or rent because we have:

  • A line of submersible pumps ranging from compact, portable units for small drainage jobs to larger dewatering pumps for emergency response situations.
  • Fully automatic diesel, electric or natural gas-powered, solids-handling dry-priming pumps for high-volume and high-discharge heads.
  • A full range of hydraulic submersible pumps for general duty in dewatering, bypass, drainage and sludge applications.
  • An exhaustive range of pumps and accessories for rent, with over 20,000 portable pumps and related equipment located around the globe.

Backed by a global support network our local teams are ready to respond at a moment’s notice. We give you confidence so together we can battle rising waters to save communities and business operations.
