Submersible Pumps: Reliable Fluid Transfer from Below the Surface

Submersible pumps are a type of pump that is completely immersed in the fluid being pumped. These pumps are typically of centrifugal pump design, allowing them to operate either continuously or intermittently as required.

Submersible pumps are often controlled by float switches that trigger operation at various liquid levels within a sump or pit where the pump is located. This allows them to automatically activate and deactivate as needed, without requiring manual intervention.

To prevent debris and solids from entering the pump, submersible models feature a suction strainer on the bottom of the pump housing. This strainer helps filter out unwanted particles, protecting the internal components and ensuring reliable operation.

The ability to be fully submerged in the fluid being pumped makes submersible pumps well-suited for a variety of applications, such as wastewater treatment, sewage transfer, groundwater pumping, and flood control. Their ability to operate continuously or intermittently, combined with the debris-filtering suction strainer, makes them a reliable and low-maintenance solution for submerged fluid transfer needs.

By leveraging the advantages of centrifugal pump technology and the flexibility of submersible operation, these pumps provide an effective and versatile fluid handling solution across a range of industrial, municipal, and construction applications where reliable performance below the surface is required.
