"Efficient pumps for pool, ship, sewage and industry"
German pump manufacturer from Herborn in Hesse, founded in 1874 by Johann Heinrich Hoffmann in Littau opposite the railway station and today a GmbH & Co. KG with more than 150 years of company history. Herborner Pumpentechnik develops and builds energy-efficient water pumps for swimming pools and water attractions, ships, sewage and wastewater technology, drinking water and industrial applications, with a US plant in Dallas, Texas since 2017 and availability in the USA and Canada. Its hallmark is the HPC coating: a thick-film coating of up to 500 µm on the hydraulics that gives a very smooth surface, protects against wear, corrosion and deposits and raises hydraulic efficiency by about 10%. The programme includes the coated herborner pool and block pumps (X, XS, F, D, S) and WATERblue pool pumps, UNIBLOCK, UNIPUMP, UNICUT and UNISELB close-coupled and self-priming pumps, the UNIVERS-A (block), UNIVERS-P (process) and UNIVERS-T (submersible) sewage pump ranges, the Centurio wastewater generation, HP-JET basin cleaning systems and 281/282 shaft and drainage pumps. Motor concepts include IE3 and IE5 permanent-magnet motors, heat exchanger motors that re-use the heat, NEMA motors and belt drives, and many pumps are available with double mechanical seals, fibre cutting devices and stainless steel or explosion-proof versions. The company is certified to DIN EN ISO standards.

Product portfolio
22+ product families. Herborner publishes no performance figures on its public site (curves and data sheets are in a login-protected download area), so the cards describe the hydraulics, impeller types, installation and drive concepts. Coated pool and process pumps: herborner.X (inline block with integrated pre-filter), XS and WATERblue (self-priming with pre-filter), F (close-coupled block, also F-L with bearing block), D (inline block) and S (self-priming for high heads); variants N (NEMA), PM (permanent-magnet motor), C (heat exchanger motor) and neo (highest efficiency). Wastewater: UNIVERS-A block pumps and UNIVERS-P process pumps with closed (K), open (Q), vortex (W), rubberized (SG), cutting (PO) or helical (Y) impellers, UNIVERS-T submersible versions (also EX), the Centurio generation (AK closed channel, AQ open channel, AD lift-up vortex, AF vortex with optional rubber lining) and the UNIPUMP, UNICUT (macerator) and UNISELB (self-priming) series. Submersible and shaft pumps: TQR/54 (8 mm ball passage), TKR/55 and TWR/55 (50 mm), 281S and 282G/K (hot water up to 90 °C).
