Taking Care of Our Own.

The recent earthquake in Haiti has caused unimaginable suffering. The topic hit especially close to home for us at Florida Pump Service, because one of our service technicians has relatives living in Haiti at the time of the quack. Fortunately, he was able to make contact with them and they are all safe.

We at Florida Pump Service decided that we should help take up the cause and do a little bit to help those in Haiti. We recently ran a promotion to donate a portion of all our pump and tank sales to the Red Cross and have it marked for Haiti Relief. I am proud to say that at the end of the month of promotion, Florida Pump Service had raised $1,378.23. We hope this donation on behalf of the family at Florida Pump Service can help some families in Haiti.

Rain, Flooding, Drainage, and You

As those of you in Northeast Florida know, we are currently being pummeled by rain and there is no end in sight. It doesn't take long for flooding to start, and if you haven't noticed any yet, it won't be long before you do.

Everyone is aware of the usual flooding spots in their neighborhood or around their work area, but what do you do when water starts pooling in your yard? The water can wreak havoc on your yard, and possibly encroach on your home. What do you do if your drainage system isn't working? You can call us at Florida Pump Service. We carry a wide variety of sump and drainage pumps for your use. We offer almost every brand in the industry, and can repair or diagnose your current pump problems. If you need us to come out for service, just give us a call at 904.269.0202 and our service department will be able to assist you. In many cases, we can come out the same day.


If you don't already have a drainage system in place, it might be too late to save it this go round, but what about the next storm?

At Florida Pump Service, we have a variety of solutions for flooding and drainage applications. One solution we offer is to install a French drain system in your yard to help pump collected water away from your property. We also rent out mud pumps and large dewatering pumps for your bigger needs.

And don't forget, we have several deals and specials for you to take advantage of. Also check out our new blowout specials.

Remember to stay safe out there on the roads, and try and stay dry.

Water Restrictions

Are you aware of what days you can water? The St. John's River Water Management District has outlined a mandatory schedule. Not following the schedule can result in a warning and, if not stopped, an eventual fine.

You can find a summary of your watering days by visiting here.

If you want more specific information, such as what to do if you laid new landscaping or you operate a special type of irrigation, then you can find that information here.

New Showroom NOW Open!

Florida Pump Service in conjunction with Pedrollo and PD of Florida, have combined to assemble a new showroom in our Orange Park location. It's an effort on our part to better expose the wide array of Pedrollo pumps to our everyday customers. Our showroom is located in our Orange Park office at 192 Industrial Loop.

On it we showcase: The different and carrying types of pumps, certain lines stainless steel models, and just a few, of the many, sump and effluent pumps Pedrollo has brought into the States. Customers can even get a glimpse of the specialty pumps that Pedrollo has to offer.


Several of the PK (Left) and PQ (Right)turbine pumps are displayed, along with the very versatile CP 600.





There are even several pumps that Pedrollo and us believe will have a big impact on the way we view our pump systems. The Sumo (Right) is on showcase to show the customer the power that can come from submersible applications that require a tight fit.





We even have two wall mounts to display the versatility of the stainless steel in-line multi-stage VL and VLE.

If you get the time, feel free to stop in and take a look around. We might have just the pump you need, or the pump you never knew could work for you. The showroom is open from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Monday - Friday.

New feature: Deals and Specials

In an effort to further thank our customers, Florida Pump Service has recently added a new page to our website called "Deals and Specials". It outlines just a few of the ongoing specials we have running and we hope to update it frequently with new specials and seasonal deals. You can find the page here.


The first part of the page details what we call the "internet specials". Most of our online products are tagged with this:

Products listed with this marking are usually deals we are trying through our website and sometimes they are lower than our over the counter prices. However, we will extend the discount to anyone who prints out the product page and brings it in at the time of purchase.

We also talk a little bit about our participation in the Jaguars Rewards Program. In this, we give a $30 discount, on all purchases over $100 excluding internet prices, for all customers who have a Jaguars Rewards card. The cards are free with the purchase of Jacksonville Jaguars' season tickets. You can find out more about the Jaguars including season ticket purchases and other companies participating in the rewards program at Jaguars.com.

Please check regularly as we plan on updating the page with new deals and specials as we release them.
