A pump is a machine used to move, compress, or transfer water. There are a number of different types of pumps available: jet pumps, centrifugal pumps, gear pumps, peristaltic pumps, gravity pumps, and impulse pumps. All of them are useful across a number of different industries. For use in daily life, the most commonly used category of pump is the water pump of the centrifugal variety.

Water pumps are a vital tool for various residential, light commercial or agricultural jobs and especially in rural areas, it can play a critical role.

The main function of Water pumps is to get rid of excess water or transfer water between two points. Water pumps fall into Submersible Utility 2 different categories which are centrifugal pumps and the positive displacement design type.

Centrifugal Water Pump

The purpose of these pumps is to move water into the pump and pressurise the discharge flow using its rotating impeller. It works especially well with a thin and high flow rate of liquid. All types of liquids, even low viscosity fluids can be pumped. Centrifugal Water Pumps are generally used in:

Buildings used to pump the water supply including the pneumatic systems and places where suction lift is not required.
Boost Application a booster pump is used to boost pressure coming from the intake line
Wells used in domestic water supply systems
Fire Protection System makes sure that continuous water source is available
