Pumps are equipment which moves fluids using very high pressure. Submersible pumps are pumps which are being attached to the main pump body that provides the power to lift the fluid. Unlike jet pumps, submersible pumps can drive the water or any other liquid substance to the surface. But, these are just as effective as the jet pumps.
There are many uses for submersible pumps. In fact, they have a wider scope of work. They can be used for slurry pumping, industrial pumping, drainage pumping, and aquarium filtering. Another purpose is for lowering down bore wells.
Here are some things to consider when using these submersible pumps:
1. It is important to remember that the motor power wires be kept away from the wiring used for detecting moisture. This is necessary to keep the detection efficient for submersible pumps.
2. For the purposes of chilling the pump when liquid is poured around the motor, it is wise not to use hot or combustible liquid. Using these liquids may cause gas leakage which would result to fire or destruction of submersible pumps.
3. During the fitting of pumps, the machine-driven seals should be checked whether they are correctly placed or not. The presence of moisture should also be checked.
4. If there are situations when the liquid to be pumped contains sediment, it is necessary to attach filter screens which will prevent the rubbles from penetrating the outlet region.
5. The functionality of submersible pumps should be checked before using them. One way to do this is to pour some water in the pump and let it drive thoroughly. The pumps should also be fixed in the deepest portion of the area filled with water.
6. The connection of the power source should be situated above the water level. They should also be kept dry to avoid accidents. However, the outlet area of submersible pumps should be lower than that of the water-filled area.
7. Finally, the pumps should be corrosion-resistant. Durable submersible pumps can last a very long time.
