A submersible pump comprises of a hermetically sealed motor coupled close to the pump body. This is fully submerged inside fluid for pumping the fluid out. The sealed encasing of the motor prevents it from coming in contact with the fluid and cause short circuit. So, most specifically speaking, unlike any other pumps that operate outside fluid surface to suck the fluid out, these pumps push the fluid outside by submerging itself inside it. It can vary in size and depending on size and operation, there are two basic types of pumps used to pump potable water – shallow well pump and deep well pump.

How does it work?

A typical pump consists of 2-4 foot long cylinder which is 3-5 inches in diameter. The motor drives impeller. When switch is turned ON, the impeller starts spinning drawing water into the pump. The water is then pushed through the pump body and pumped to the surface. The rest of unit comprise of a cable connected to the motor and a pipe through which fluid is transported to the surface or the tank. The size of the pump unit depends upon the yield of well or the need of household. It must be designed to meet your peak demand and not just the average need.
