Solutions-based Water Treatment: Why Choose Kennards Hire

Every site’s water is different. One site may need clean rainwater moved, while another is managing silty runoff or meeting trade waste limits.

The value comes from building the right treatment system for your site and outcome — and keeping it simple for your team to operate.

Build the right treatment system for your site

Start with the end in mind, whether that’s reuse on site or discharge to stormwater or sewer. From there, select the right components to suit your flow, footprint and water quality.

• Pumps matched to duty: from compact submersibles for pits to high-flow, silenced sets for dewatering and bypass.
• Hoses and fittings that keep flow moving: specified hoses with the right couplings to keep velocity and head in line with targets.
• Clarifying (settlement) tanks: sized to slow water and allow fines to settle before discharge, based on peak flow and turbidity targets.
• Inline treatment modules: Added where water filtration or targeted treatment is required.
• Storage and reuse: use tank-and-pump skids where non-potable reuse makes sense.

Why “solutions-based” beats separate component hire

Water treatment only works when the whole system works. At Kennards Hire, we supply pumps, hoses, tanks and treatment modules as a configured, integrated solution. Flow rates, dwell time, hose sizing and head loss are all considered upfront. That means:

• Connections and threads that match across system components.
• Pumps that perform for intended flow, including peaks and troughs.
• Tanks with the capacity to handle inflows to avoid overloading.

Rather than having to deal with multiple suppliers with overlapping responsibilities on site, you deal with one team responsible for the entire system’s set up and performance.

Applications in real world scenarios

• Storm event recovery: submersible pumps move floodwater to a clarifier where it can be treated for controlled discharge. Fast to deploy, easy to monitor.
• Basement dewatering: a high-flow pump moves water and sludge to inline treatment with a large capacity clarifier to enable verification sampling for release.
• Water for reuse: water from rooftop collection goes to a storage tank with an integrated pump to supply water for filling trucks, helping to control dust on site.
• Sewer connections and bypass: packaged wastewater pumps and pipes, with flow meters and alarms to prevent overflows, move liquid during plant maintenance and upgrades.

The holistic approach: why it saves time and money

A whole-of-system approach, rather than focusing on individual components like pumps or tanks, delivers lower risk and more efficient outcomes. With that approach, the following benefits can be expected:

• Right first time: When flow rate, solids load, hose diameter and settlement volume are sized together, you immediately operate at your target level without constant tweaking. Your team spends less time troubleshooting and more time moving water.
• Fewer site risks: Correct hose sizing and steady flows reduce over-pressure, hose whip, trip points and messy overflows. Add renewable energy battery powered pumps and proper discharge points and neighbours stay on side.
• Lower operating cost: Efficient layouts shorten suction runs, cut fuel use and keep clarifiers working in their sweet spot. You burn less diesel, change fewer consumables and avoid emergency servicing.
• Simpler compliance: With sampling points, meters, verification steps and discharge criteria built into the plan, you can show your customer or council exactly how the system meets compliance.
• Clear handover: A single drawing, labelled hoses and on-equipment QR manuals mean each shift can start, operate and stop confidently.

Why choose Kennards Hire for water treatment

We’ve built a dedicated water treatment capability focused on delivering the right outcome for each site, safely and efficiently, with value in mind.

More than just equipment hire, we work with you to understand your challenge and site conditions, then configure the full system — from pump selection and hose sizing through to tank capacity and treatment stages. We commission the setup so your team can operate it with confidence and keep your project or plant moving.
