A vertical turbine pump comprises an assembly including a rotatable pump shaft, an impeller, and an impeller bowl. The assembly is removably mounted in a fluid flow diverter that directs fluid at a right angle to the axis of rotation of the pump shaft then to a path parallel to the axis of rotation of the pump shaft.

A vertical turbine pump for transferring liquid from a tank having a top panel with an aperture therein, said pump comprising a motor bracket secured to the top panel of said tank; a rotatable pump shaft extending downwardly through said motor bracket and through the aperture in the top panel of said tank; an impeller on said pump shaft;
an impeller bowl surrounding said impeller and having a discharge throat of relatively smaller diameter than said impeller and a truncated conical upwardly divergent fluid pressure reducing chamber above the discharge throat thereof; Instrumentation Ball Valves a fluid flow diverter having a first 90
