Want to know how submersible pumps work and the main types available? In the following guide we will inform you of everything so that you can make a perfect purchase, fully adapted to your needs.
Submersible pumps: how they work
First of all, we want you to know how they work so you can know why you need them and choose the right type. Submersible pumps work submerged in a liquid. The motor is coupled inside the body of the pump and is hermetically sealed, so that no water enters.
This pump is inserted into the liquid, usually water, and or pushed up to the surface. Then, the engine transforms the kinetic energy into centrifugal force and then into pressure; so the water rises out of the well.
They are interesting because they can be submerged to great depths and the installation is also easy, fast and simple. Therefore, they are usually used to pump water from wells or drain ponds, as main uses.
One of their main advantages is that they save a lot of energy, which is especially important in these times, given that we are looking for more products that allow us to take care of the environment.
In addition, the durability is good, because they are covered with a sealed body so that they do not catch corrosion and oxidation. However, there are different types.
