How to operate submersible pumps

Submersible pumps : They are pumps that are completely inside the liquid, and the motor that is inside the pump itself, and it is well closed, so that water cannot reach it.

A submersible water pump is immersed in that liquid, which is usually water, until it rises to the surface. Kinetic energy is converted into centrifugal energy and then into pressure energy through the submersible pump motor, which lifts water from the well.

Since these types of pumps can be immersed to a great depth and are easy to install, they have many uses such as: draining ponds or pumping water from wells.

Use of submersible pumps

We immerse submersible pumps in the liquid until they are pumped, and in this case we never have to prepare them, because they are immersed in the liquid completely (one of their most important advantages).

The basic characteristic for activating submersible pumps is that all their parts are immersed in the liquid and they are inside a closed body to prevent corrosion and oxidation of the internal parts.

Submersible pumps of various types

 There are several different types of submersible pumps, and they are designed to pump many types of liquids, both through solid objects and without them. Therefore, determining the type of installation is the most important thing in determining the type of pump.

Most often, single-stage submersible pumps are used in domestic installations.

Such as: pumping wastewater or the ponds in which you live.

On the other hand, we have multi-stage submersible pumps, and they are very suitable for pushing liquids underground

Such as: oil fields and wells, which can also work with drinking water, wastewater, and also liquids that cause rust and corrosion.

There is also a note that we must take into account, which is not to operate these pumps in a place away from water. Because it causes the car engine to overheat (these submersible pumps were manufactured specifically to work inside water).

There is only one drawback in these pumps, so it must be taken into account, which is that over a period of time, corrosion may occur in the parts that shut down the motor.

Therefore, it is necessary to review these pumps from time to time (i.e., re-maintain them).
