BARNES PUMPS
Barnes, a brand of Crane Pumps & Systems, provides grinder, chopper, sewage, effluent, sump, and solids-handling pumps for wastewater and fluid-handling applications. Its product range also includes packaged pumping systems, fiberglass lift stations, and general-purpose centrifugal pumps.
Great Lakes Pump & Supply supplies Barnes pump products and replacement support for commercial, municipal, industrial, and residential wastewater applications, helping customers identify equipment suited to their operating requirements.
Barnes Pump Products for Sewage, Grinder, Effluent, and Wastewater Applications
Barnes pump products address different wastewater challenges, from residential pressure sewer systems to commercial and municipal lift stations handling difficult solids.
Grinder pumps reduce sewage solids into smaller particles for pressure sewer applications. Chopper pumps cut or macerate difficult materials, while non-clog and solids-handling pumps use hydraulic designs intended to move solids-containing wastewater.
Barnes also offers effluent and sump pumps, packaged systems, and lift-station equipment. The appropriate product depends on the liquid and solids being handled, required flow and head, discharge piping, installation configuration, and operating conditions.

Grinder Pumps
Grinder Pump Products
Razor Grinder Pump, Blade Grinder Pump, PGPH / PGPP Grinder Pump, SGV / XSGV Grinder Pumps, Omni Grind Plus Grinder Pump, OGV Grinder Pump, PGPT Grinder Pump, Upgrade Core Replacement Grinder Pump
Barnes grinder pumps use cutting mechanisms to reduce sewage solids for transport through pressure sewer piping. Models vary in flow capacity, discharge head, motor size, and grinding technology.
The RAZOR series serves residential and light-commercial applications, while BLADE models address higher-capacity and higher-head wastewater requirements. Other grinder configurations and replacement cores support different installation and existing-system needs.
Submersible and Solids-Handling Pumps
Chopper, Non-Clog, and Solids-Handling Pumps
SITHE Chopper Pump, SH Non-Clog Pump, Submersible Solids-Handling Pump SE Series
Barnes chopper and solids-handling pumps serve wastewater applications where fibrous materials, suspended solids, or clogging present operating challenges.
SITHE chopper pumps use cutting components to reduce troublesome solids, while SH non-clog and SE solids-handling pumps use hydraulic configurations designed to pass solids-containing wastewater. Selection depends on the waste stream, solids characteristics, discharge requirements, and whether the application requires solids reduction or passage.
Sewage, Effluent, Sump, and Drainage Pumps
Sewage and Effluent Pumps
Sewage Ejectors, Effluent Pump
Barnes sewage ejectors and effluent pumps address different wastewater-handling requirements. Sewage ejectors serve applications involving raw sewage, while effluent pumps are used for transferring wastewater with smaller solids or partially treated liquid.
Pump selection should account for solids passage, discharge head, basin arrangement, and the intended wastewater system.
Sump, Drainage, and Utility Systems
SHUR Switch Sump Pump, Basement Genie, Laundry Tray Systems
Barnes sump and drainage products support water removal from basements, utility areas, and installations where gravity drainage is insufficient.
Available products include sump pump configurations and preassembled laundry tray systems. Selection depends on drainage volume, basin size, discharge conditions, and available installation space.
Packaged Systems and Lift Stations
Packaged Sewer and Pump Systems
EcoTRAN Low-Pressure Sewer System, Packaged Systems
Barnes packaged pumping systems combine equipment needed for sewage collection and transfer into configured assemblies.
EcoTRAN uses grinder pump technology for low-pressure residential sewer applications. Other packaged systems provide options for below-grade sewage removal where wastewater must be pumped to a higher discharge point.
Pump type, basin dimensions, controls, discharge requirements, and site conditions determine the appropriate system configuration.
Fiberglass Lift Stations
Hard Piped Fiberglass Lift Station, Pipe Rail Fiberglass Lift Station
Barnes fiberglass lift stations provide basin and pump arrangements for sewage, effluent, and grinder pump applications.
Hard-piped stations can serve installations where guide rails are unnecessary, while pipe-rail systems provide pump removal and maintenance access through guide rails and disconnect fittings.
Available systems vary by pump selection, basin configuration, control equipment, and installation requirements.
Self-Priming, End-Suction, Transfer, and Specialty Pumps
Self-Priming and Transfer Pumps
ICU & CCE Self-Priming Pump, Transfer Pump Series
Barnes self-priming centrifugal pumps serve general industrial liquid transfer, dewatering, and other applications where suction conditions influence pump selection.
The portable Transfer Pump Series provides equipment for smaller water-transfer and utility applications. These product families differ in capacity, drive arrangement, construction, and intended operating conditions.
End-Suction Centrifugal Pumps
Barnes HCU end-suction centrifugal pumps are designed for general-purpose industrial and marine fluid-handling applications. Uses include condenser water, gear cooling, water circulation, washdown, and related services.
Unlike Barnes sewage and sump products, the HCU family is selected around industrial circulation and liquid-transfer requirements.
Specialty Pumps
Barnes fountain pumps support decorative water circulation and display applications. Available configurations include bronze and stainless steel construction, with model selection based on flow, head, electrical requirements, and the intended fountain system.
Selecting a Barnes Pump for Your Application
Choosing a Barnes pump begins with identifying the wastewater or liquid being handled, the required flow rate, total dynamic head, solids characteristics, and installation arrangement.
The distinction between grinder, chopper, and non-clog pumps is particularly important. Grinder pumps reduce sewage solids for pressure sewer transport. Chopper pumps cut difficult or fibrous materials, while non-clog and solids-handling pumps are intended to move wastewater containing solids without relying on the same cutting process.
For packaged systems and lift stations, basin dimensions, discharge piping, pump removal access, control equipment, and whether a single- or multiple-pump arrangement is needed can also affect equipment selection.
When replacing existing equipment, the manufacturer, model number, nameplate details, voltage, discharge connection, and installation dimensions can help identify suitable replacement options. Existing control and basin arrangements should also be reviewed for compatibility.
