YOUR GUIDE TO THE FUNCTION OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS - Once you decide to drill a water well on your property, you’ll need to know more about how the various components work. The submersible pump, in particular, is responsible for moving freshwater from the ground supply into your home. Read on to learn more about this part of your system. Submersible pumps are versatile for wells because they may sit anywhere between 25 and 450 feet beneath the water level. This placement prevents drought and fluctuating water levels from interfering with the pump’s ability to provide fresh water to your residence. This also permits the pump to quickly push the water upward rather than pulling it from above like a jet pump. Submersible pumps have a cylindrical casing that encloses the motor and impellers, which are responsible for pushing water into the drop pipe. Your pump’s size will depend upon how much water your home requires daily. However, residential pumps usually use a one and a half horsepower motor to move up to 25 gallons per minute. Commercial and agricultural properties, on the other hand, often require larger pumps. Submersible pumps are among the most common in residential well systems because they are easy and convenient. They have an automatic operating mechanism that detects water levels, which let them know to start running and lifting water into your home.

How Do Submersible Pumps Work?

Placement

Submersible pumps are versatile for wells because they may sit anywhere between 25 and 450 feet beneath the water level.

This placement prevents drought and fluctuating water levels from interfering with the pump’s ability to provide fresh water to your residence.

This also permits the pump to quickly push the water upward rather than pulling it from above like a jet pump.

Shape & Size

Submersible pumps have a cylindrical casing that encloses the motor and impellers, which are responsible for pushing water into the drop pipe.

Your pump’s size will depend upon how much water your home requires daily.

However, residential pumps usually use a one and a half horsepower motor to move up to 25 gallons per minute.

Commercial and agricultural properties, on the other hand, often require larger pumps. 

Automatic Operation

Submersible pumps are among the most common in residential well systems because they are easy and convenient.

They have an automatic operating mechanism that detects water levels, which let them know to start running and lifting water into your home.

This prevents you from dealing with low or no water pressure as you go about your household tasks.

SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS - A submersible pump is a device with a hermetically sealed motor capable of being submerged completely in the fluid to be pumped. Submersible pumps actually push liquid through the pipes rather than a jet pump that sucks or pulls the liquid through a pipe. Submersible pumps are more efficient than jet pumps and are capable of pushing water a long distance depending on the horsepower of the motor.

Submersible Pumps 101

A submersible pump is a device with a hermetically sealed motor capable of being submerged completely in the fluid to be pumped.

When the switch is turned on, impellers start turning sucking the liquid into the pump and then push the liquid up through the pipe to a tank or disposal area.

The process continues until it is switched off.

Submersible pumps actually push liquid through the pipes rather than a jet pump that sucks or pulls the liquid through a pipe.

Submersible pumps are more efficient than jet pumps and are capable of pushing water a long distance depending on the horsepower of the motor.

Submersible pumps are found in many applications.

Single stage pumps are used for drainage, sewage pumping, general industrial pumping and slurry pumping. They are also popular with pond filters.

Multiple stage submersible pumps are typically lowered down a drilled hole and most typically used for residential, commercial, municipal and industrial water extraction and oil wells.

Other uses for submersible pumps include sewage treatment plants, seawater handling, fire fighting (due to its flame-retardant cable), deep well drilling, offshore drilling, artificial lifts, mine dewatering and irrigation systems.

Special attention to the type of submersible pump is required when using certain types of liquids.

Pumps used for combustible liquids or for water that may be contaminated with combustible liquids must be designed not to ignite the liquid or vapors.

A certified contractor can help you decide what type of pump you need – for pumping power, energy efficiency, safety, materials and budget.
