Pumps and pumping stations in Switzerland

Aktualisiert 5. November 2026

Pumps in Switzerland cost from about CHF 43 for a small garden or pond pump, and from about CHF 3’300 for a drainage pumping station. The price depends on the flow rate, how high the water must be lifted and whether the pump is for drinking water, drainage or heating. Describe your pump in a request on BlaBlaPrice and get offers that match your system.

Energy rules and sizing

Swiss energy rules set efficiency requirements for wet-rotor circulation pumps up to 2,500 watts, the kind used in heating systems. Check the EEI figure on the pump: the lower the value, the more efficient the pump. A pump that is too large or too small for the system wastes energy, so give the seller your flow in litres per hour and the head in metres.

Warranty, installation and water quality

Read the warranty terms before you buy. Manufacturers can refuse a claim when a pump was installed or run in a way the manual does not describe, so keep the manual and the installation record. For drinking-water connections, ask whether the product follows the Swiss water-industry rulebook. Installation is not in these listings, so ask each seller for it separately.

Season and climate

Switzerland has winters from December to February and summers from June to August. Garden and pond pumps are most useful in the summer months, so install them in spring. Frost in winter can damage outdoor pumps and pipes, so drain and store them before the cold arrives. Drainage pumps are worth checking before the wet months.

What to write in your request

Listings show flow in litres per hour, head in metres, power in watts and pipe size as DN, so use those units. Large stations are heavy, so ask whether delivery to your address is included. In your request name the pump type, the water source and depth, the flow and head, the pipe diameter, a brand if you have one, your address in Zürich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne or elsewhere, and your budget.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in your own words in a chat, and a photo helps. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Switzerland, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply with their offers, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. For heating circulators see heating, and for fittings see plumbing.
