Instructional

When living or working in an area without access to clean drinking water, it's essential to know how to choose the right water pump for your needs. This article will discuss two common types of water pumps: electric pumps, also known as submersible pumps, and manual pumps.

To choose the right water pump, you must consider factors such as well depth, well diameter, aquifer flow rate, and the amount of water to be extracted. Having this necessary information will allow you to make informed decisions. Keep reading!

Types of Water Pumps

Two of the basic types of water pumps are submersible and manual pumps. They are installed and deliver water differently; learn a little about them:

Manual Submersible Pumps

As the name suggests, these are installed underwater. There are different types of submersible well pumps . Some of these pumps reach depths of 20-30 meters, while others go even deeper, reaching depths of up to 100 meters underwater.

Hand pumps are used to pump water from deep underground to the surface. They are operated by human hand power.

Advantages

• It is easy to install.
• They are not complicated to use.
• It does not depend on an electric current.
• Minimum maintenance costs

Electric Submersible Pumps

Electric submersible pumps are also known as electric pumps or submersible submersibles, and these are the most common type of pump today. These pumps draw water to the surface and are powered by electricity supplied from the surface.

Electric submersible pumps are considered effective and economical for producing large amounts of flow at different depths, under different well conditions.

Advantages

• They are capable of handling high volumes.
• They are easy to operate on the surface.
• These pumps work well in deviated wells.
• They reach great depths.
