Technology
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.
