General Purpose

For sustained performance and maximum reliability, our pumps are hard to beat, handling everything from clean water to sludge and slurry. Precision manufactured, they feature hardwearing cast-iron parts and corrosion resistant materials throughout.

The general purpose industry standard for contractors, water authorities and local agencies, the Sykes Univac GP pump range has evolved from over 140 years of heavy duty pump manufacture. Specifically designed for arduous applications, the Sykes UNIVAC pumps are typical of the range, utilising tried and tested components, selected to ensure maximum reliability.

Used wherever there is a need for positive self priming, the UNIVAC pumps incorporates the unique Sykes Univac vacuum system, enabling the pump to prime and reprime fully automatically from dry, and operate with the suction intake intermittently exposed to atmosphere.

Provided with Lister engine power as standard, all GP pumps are available with alternative prime movers and mountings, together with a wide choice of accessories and fittings.
