Different types of water pumps and their applications.

The core idea of a water pump is to use a motor to convert rotational energy and turn it into energy for moving fluid. There are several types of water pumps available in the market to choose from. In this blog, we’ll take a deep dive into the different types of water pumps and their applications.

1. Centrifugal pump.

A submersible pump that allows fluid to enter through the rotating impeller and is released through the impeller’s tips. This ensures that the velocity and pressure of the fluid are high enough to be easily directed towards the outlet. This pump is commonly used for pumping sewage due to its easy installation and transportation characteristics.

2. Submersible pump.

Operating under the ESP principle, these pumps are quite effective in flood defense schemes, provided they are submerged in water. They can come in handy even for passive flood defense schemes when clubbed with an automatic float switch. These pumps, however, are relatively expensive, for they require special electricity cables. Moreover, the amount of electricity used by submersible pumps is higher than other pump motors.

Water pumps are highly useful in every industry but selecting the right pump depends on your requirement. We recommend you get expert advice to make the right choice.
