More information please. How powerful are these pumps? What power is available? Is variable speed needed? If only on/off operation is needed and AC is available, then VFDs would unnecessarily complicate this. When you say "Head of pumps" I presume you mean how far up they have to pump their liquid? When do the pumps need to operate? If in response to external conditions then a PLC (Programmable logic controller) might make things easier....
