Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between centrifugal and submersible pumps?

A. A centrifugal pump is installed on the ground, whereas a submersible pump is typically used underwater. Therefore, centrifugal pumps are the suitable choice for water supply and drainage applications in urban areas or industrial purposes, while submersible pumps are utilised to draw groundwater from deep wells.

Q. What are the two major kinds of water pumps?

A. The two major types of water pumps are positive displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps.

Q. What type of pump is a submersible pump?

A. Submersible pumps are centrifugal pumps whose hydraulic parts (the pump casing, the impeller and the diffuser element) are submerged in the fluid they are handling. Typically, a suction pipe is not installed on this kind of pump.
