BPS stands for Buchanan Pump Service—but more importantly, it stands for reliability, expertise, and customer-first service.

Pump Sales & Inventory

What types of pumps do you carry?

We stock and distribute 20+ different pump brands and can source nearly any pump or part. While we handle a wide range of applications, we do not work with automotive pumps or heart pumps.

Do you offer custom pump system design?

Yes! We work with customers to design complete pump systems tailored to their needs. Whether it’s a new installation or an upgrade, we help you find the best solution.

Pump Repair & Remanufacturing

What types of pumps do you repair?

We don’t just repair – we remanufacture pumps. That means:

  • Your pump is restored to at least 90% of its original manufacturer’s performance curve
  • We back our remanufactured pumps with a 6-month limited warranty
  • Every remanufactured pump goes through a rigorous testing process before it leaves our facility

If your pump has life left in it, we’ll make sure it performs like new.

How do I know if my pump should be repaired or replaced?

Our team will diagnose your pump’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective and reliable solution – whether that’s a repair, remanufacturing, or a replacement.

Do you offer on-site pump maintenance?

Yes! Our field service teams can inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot pumps on-site to prevent failures and maximize efficiency.

We ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.

Custom Skid Systems & Fabrication
